Seoul Jung-gu 'Comprehensive and Local Income Tax Joint Filing Center' Operation

Automatic Extension of Payment Deadline for All Taxpayers Until August 31

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jung-gu (District Mayor Seoyangho) is operating the 'Income Tax Joint Filing Center,' where comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax can be filed simultaneously, until June 1.

From May this year, income taxpayers must file comprehensive income tax at the tax office and individual local income tax at the respective autonomous district when submitting their final comprehensive income tax returns.

To provide convenience to taxpayers, the district has separately established the 'Income Tax Joint Filing Center' on the 2nd floor of the Jung-gu Office main building and began operations on the 1st.

For smooth operation of the filing center, tax office staff in the area will work at the district office, and district tax staff will work at the tax office in a cross-assignment arrangement until the end of the operation. Thanks to this, income taxpayers can file both comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax in a one-stop manner by visiting only one place, either the tax office or the district office.

Taxpayers can also use the 'Moduchaeum Filing' system, a simplified income tax filing system introduced in May this year. Moduchaeum Filing is a system where the National Tax Service pre-calculates the tax details for small business owners to facilitate easy filing, and if there are no objections, they can pay without a separate filing.

For those eligible for comprehensive income tax 'Moduchaeum Filing,' an individual local income tax payment slip is sent together, so the taxpayer is recognized as having completed the individual local income tax filing by simply paying the amount stated on the payment slip without a separate filing.

Also, if comprehensive income tax is electronically filed through the National Tax Service's Hometax website, it is automatically linked to the local tax system WETAX, allowing easy electronic filing of local income tax as well.

Additionally, the district will extend the income tax payment deadline to alleviate the economic burden caused by COVID-19.

Although comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax must be filed and paid by June 1, the payment deadline is extended by three months to August 31 by official discretion. If directly or indirectly affected by COVID-19, the filing deadline can also be extended up to three months until August 31 upon application.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, stated, "We have established a joint filing center at the district office to reduce confusion and inconvenience for residents," and added, "We will continue to do our best to provide tax administration services that enhance convenience for taxpayers."
