Gwangju City: "File Personal Local Income Tax at District Office Starting This Year"

Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 13th that from this month, individual local income tax, which was reported and paid to the tax office until last year, must be reported and paid at the five district offices of Gwangju due to the revision of the Local Tax Act.

This is due to the revision of the Local Tax Act amended in 2014, and corporate income tax has been switched since 2015, with reporting and payment being carried out at the five district offices.

To minimize taxpayer confusion caused by the change in the reporting system, Gwangju City will temporarily have tax officials at the district offices accept individual local income tax reports at the tax offices under Gwangju’s jurisdiction until March 2.

From March 3, taxpayers of comprehensive, transfer, and retirement income tax must report and pay individual local income tax at the five district offices corresponding to their address.

After completing income tax reporting on the Internet Hometax (national tax), clicking the individual local income tax report button will automatically connect to Wetax (local tax) for reporting.

However, during the confirmation period for comprehensive and retirement income tax in May, when taxpayers are concentrated, they can choose either the district office or the tax office to report national and local taxes simultaneously.
