Uniform Land Tax
Our outdated tax system has been taking its toil on the Commoners, who have been disproportionally affected. To remedy this, a reform has been proposed under the name Daedongbeob, or Uniform Land Tax Law, which would improve the tax regime and let the state get more out of the taxes that it does collect. The Commoners would no longer need to sell their land to the Nobility in hope of getting out of the tax register.

1766historical_info = flavor_kor.26.historical_info The Korean economy was in a very bad shape by the 17th century and to rectify this state Chief State Councilor Yi Won-ik gradually introduced previously ignored reforms in the tax system. The tribute tax levied against households was replaced with a unified tax on arable land. The tax on goods was limited to a quota which let enterprising peasants and wholesalers make and sell surplus goods. The net effect was lower taxes for peasants, increased revenues for the state and a rise in commerce.
