Korea is on track to collect more than 50 trillion won ($37 billion) more in tax revenue than projected earlier this year, as robust earnings in the semiconductor sector are set to bolster coffers, according to government insiders Sunday. The excess tax revenue could also substantially increase the resources available for the Future Fund, a new fiscal vehicle included in the government’s 2027 budget proposal, potentially exceeding 200 trillion won in total. The Ministry of Finance and Economy is scheduled to unveil an updated forecast for 2026 national tax revenue Wednesday, together with its August tax collection data. The government had already revised its annual tax revenue forecast upward when it drew up the supplementary budget passed by the National Assembly in April. The estimate was raised by 25.2 trillion won to 415.4 trillion won from 390.2 trillion won under the original budget. Should tax receipts exceed the revised estimate by more than 50 trillion won, annual national tax revenue would rise to about 465.4 trillion won. That would easily eclipse the previous record of 395.
