반도체 업황에 널뛰는 국세수입…지금이 “과세 기반 확충 적기”

South Korea's national tax revenue is experiencing significant fluctuations, largely mirroring the volatile performance of the semiconductor industry. This cyclical nature highlights a vulnerability in the nation's fiscal stability, as a substantial portion of tax income is tied to this single sector. Experts suggest that the current economic climate presents a prime opportunity to broaden the tax base. Diversifying revenue sources beyond the semiconductor industry is crucial for ensuring more stable and predictable government finances.

Diversifying the tax base is essential for stabilizing national revenue and mitigating risks associated with economic downturns in key industries like semiconductors.
