On January 1, 2020, the liquor tax for beer and takju was reorganized from the ad valorem tax to the specific tax. The purpose of the reorganization of the liquor tax announced by the National Tax Service is to improve the quality of the liquor and to resolve unreasonable discrimination between domestic and imported liquor. However, it is necessary to determine whether the National Tax Service's standard for levying the liquor tax is appropriate for the purpose. In this study, the change in the liquor industry is estimated due to the reorganization of the liquor tax using Hicks net price elasticity. In addition, the specific tax for each of the liquors and the alcohol content derived from the social cost minimization model is compared. The main findings are as follows. First, when the liquor tax of beer and takju is converted to the specific tax, social costs increase, and social welfare decrease. Second, if all the liquors are converted to the specific tax, social costs decrease. Third, when comparing specific tax by each of the liquors and the alcohol content according to the social cost minimization model, The specific tax by alcohol content can be considered more appropriate in terms of social cost and the stakeholders in the liquor industry.

Purpose - The domestic liquor market is steadily increasing, but locally made liquor markets remain stagnant. The market opening due to the FTA and westernized eating habits are expanding the consumption of imported liquor by Koreans and the demand for beer and soju is still high. Therefore, we analyzed the scale efficiency of Korean locally made liquor companies. Research design, data, and methodology - Based on a translog-cost function, a scale efficiency analysis was conducted using the government's information survey on the liquor industry. Data from 541 liquor companies analyzed from 2013 to 2014 were used for analysis. Results - As a result of the scale efficiency analysis, the average sales of the mid-sized locally made liquor companies is 171 million won, but the appropriate sales amount is 1 million won. It is estimated that there is a need to increase sales. Conclusions - The gap between the actual sales and the appropriate sales of mid-sized locally made liquor companies with 3~10 employees is larger, so it is necessary to reduce the average cost by increasing the sales of locally made liquor companies. In order to do so, it is necessary to acquire customer strategies such as product differentiation, advertising and publicity.
