SEOUL, June 12 (Xinhua) — South Korea’s tax revenue rose for the first four months of this year on higher corporate and income taxes, government data showed Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tax revenue ran to 142.2 trillion won (104.7 billion U.S. dollars) in the January-April period, up 16.6 trillion won (12.2 billion dollars) compared to the same period of last year, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance.<\/p>\n

The collection of corporate and income taxes mounted 13.0 trillion won (9.6 billion dollars) and 3.5 trillion won (2.6 billion dollars) each, but value-added tax revenue declined 600 billion won (441.9 million dollars) in the cited month.<\/p>\n

Aggregate revenue, including tax and non-tax revenue, totaled 231.1 trillion won (170.2 billion dollars) during the January-April period, up 17.7 trillion won (13.0 billion dollars) from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Total expenditure swelled 1.9 trillion won (1.4 billion dollars) over the year to 262.3 trillion won (193.2 billion dollars) in the first four months of this year.<\/p>\n

The managed fiscal balance, excluding social security fund, recorded a deficit of 46.1 trillion won (33.9 billion dollars) in the January-April period.<\/p>\n

The central government’s debt stood at 1,197.8 trillion won (882.1 billion dollars) at the end of April, up 22.0 trillion won (16.2 billion dollars) from a month earlier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
