[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 30th that the payment deadline for individual local income tax, originally due on June 1, will be extended by three months until August 31 to alleviate the economic burden on taxpayers caused by the spread of COVID-19.

Taxpayers are required to file by June 1 and can make the payment by August 31 after filing.

In addition, during the filing period in May, the county office civil service center and Haenam Tax Office will operate a joint filing center for comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax.

Previously, the tax office handled income tax and local income tax collectively, but starting this year, the filing system has shifted to local government-only filing, requiring taxpayers to visit both the tax office and county office separately. This center was established to resolve this inconvenience.

Furthermore, for those subject to the comprehensive income tax ‘Moduchaeum Filing’ (pre-filled filing), individual local income tax payment slips will be sent, and taxpayers who pay the amount listed on the slip will be recognized as having completed the filing.

Those eligible for Moduchaeum Filing can complete their filing at the county office without visiting the tax office.

Taxpayers wishing to use the internet can visit the National Tax Service’s ‘Hometax’ website, and after filing comprehensive income tax, by clicking once in the local income tax filing section, they will be linked to WETAX, allowing them to easily file individual local income tax.
