South Korea Considers Revising Stock Price Suppression Law, May Replace 0.8x PBR Threshold by End of July

South Korea's government is advancing legislative discussions on a 'stock price suppression prevention law' aimed at blocking practices that artificially depress stock valuations to reduce inheritance and gift tax liabilities. The current proposal uses a price-to-book ratio (PBR) threshold of 0.8x to determine different tax treatments, though concerns have been raised that this benchmark does not adequately reflect industry-specific characteristics and market volatility. The government plans to release its revised tax reform package by the end of July, which may introduce alternative application criteria while preserving the law's core intent.
