Gwangju Dong-gu Actively Implements More Convenient Personal Local Income Tax System

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 27th that, following the transition of individual local income tax to a local government reporting system starting January 1 this year, it plans to actively operate various taxpayer convenience methods.

Until next month, the local income tax officer at the district office will be stationed at the Gwangju Tax Office to accept local income tax filings together with capital gains tax filings and issue payment slips. After this period, taxpayers can fill out and submit comprehensive and capital gains local income tax returns in the submission box located at the tax office and pay using a handwritten payment slip.

During the comprehensive income tax final filing period in May, a one-stop reporting center will be operated where taxpayers can choose either the tax office or the local government to simultaneously report national and local taxes.

Additionally, for capital gains tax liabilities established after January 1 this year, the reporting deadline has been extended by two months from the existing two months. Furthermore, if capital gains tax is reported and payment is made within the deadline, it will be considered as having reported local income tax even if no separate local income tax filing is made, demonstrating efforts to improve taxpayer convenience.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “To minimize confusion and inconvenience for taxpayers caused by the new system implementation, we will thoroughly prepare and focus on promoting taxpayer-centered convenience measures to ensure that taxpayers do not suffer any disadvantages.”
