In 2005, the redistributive effects of taxes and transfers were 9.9% in terms of changes in gini. Of these, that of private transfer income was 3.8%. Disposable income was greater than market income in about 50∼55% households from the bottom. Post-tax income was greater than market income in bottom 30% households. For these, what they received, so called, was greater than what they paid; their post-tax net transfer income was positive. Without private transfers, the range of households whose post-tax net transfer income was positive shrank to about 10%. It was known to be about 30% in the U.K. in the fiscal year 2004/05. However, the real difference in the figures between the U.K. and Korea could have become less, considering the huge differences in population shares of the old, due to the expected natural increase in post-tax net transfer income in parallel with aging of population even under the current social security system.

지난 10년간 직접세와 소비세의 총소득 대비 비중(실효세율)은 각각 5.1%에서 7.5%, 4.3%에서 4.7%로 증가하였다. 이전소득은 지난 3년간 5.8%에서 7.2%로 급증하였다. 다만 소비세의 경우에는 최근까지 실효세율이 상승하다가 2005년에 낮아졌다. 이는 특별소비세 과세대상 정비 및 탄력세율 적용 등에 따른 것으로 풀이된다.
