Jangseong-gun 'Individual Local Income Tax' Filing and Payment System Improvement

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 7th that the reporting and payment system for individual local income tax has been conveniently improved starting from the 1st, in accordance with the revised Local Tax Act.

Until now, during the comprehensive income tax reporting period every May, national tax (income tax) and local tax (local income tax) could only be reported and paid at the tax office.

From this year, the reporting and payment of individual local income tax have been changed to be done at the county office, and it is also possible to report local income tax by accessing Hometax (linked to WETAX) without visiting in person.

Additionally, during the comprehensive income tax reporting period (May), regardless of the taxpayer's location, it has become possible to visit the nearest tax office or local government to report both national and local taxes together. A simplified reporting system has also been introduced, allowing those subject to the national tax auto-filled report to receive a payment slip and pay without going through the reporting procedure.

A Jangseong-gun official said, “To minimize taxpayer inconvenience caused by the reporting system implemented since 2020, we are implementing taxpayer convenience measures such as automatic linkage between Hometax and WETAX, expansion of reporting locations (in May), and introduction of a simplified reporting system,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure that the changed individual local income tax reporting system is established as soon as possible.”
