Abstract

The capital gains tax has been used for diminishing profits of landlord owning multi-houses in Korea. However, the increasing capital gains tax ratio has two effects on housing market. The first effect is to decrease housing demand and the second is to increase the cost for housing trade. This study examines how the capital gains tax affects on the proportion of multi-house owners and mismatched households. A fixed effect panel regression models show the evidence that the capital gains tax affects the proportion of multi-house owners and mismatched households. The proportion of multi-houses owners is increasing as regulation for capital gains is more harsh. The proportion of mismatched households is also increasing at the same situation. It implies that the harder regulation for capital gains causes the less disposal of housing by increasing the loss of capital gains. This paper reveals the negative side effects of the capital gains tax regulation and one of explanatory factors for increasing mismatched tenure ratio.
