< p > the decrease in consumption expenditure resulted in a decrease in the value added tax revenue. The tax value of the added value tax in the first quarter of this year was reduced by 1 trillion 9780 won compared with the same period last year.

In particular, the added value tax accounts for 4 of the total tax revenue. If the consumption continues to shrink, it will lead to a red light on the whole tax revenue.

The office of Statistics said that although the average household income increased by 1.7% in the first quarter of this year, the consumption of the whole class decreased as the outlook for the boom was not optimistic. Therefore, it was necessary to establish measures to improve consumer confidence so as to boost consumption.
