[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City was selected as the best institution for three consecutive years in the ‘2020 Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation (2019 performance)’ conducted by Jeollanam-do. Accordingly, Yeosu City received the Governor’s Commendation along with prize money of 130 million won.

This evaluation was conducted by Jeollanam-do on the overall local tax work of 22 cities and counties over one year. The evaluation indicators included local tax revenue expansion, collection of non-tax revenue, and local tax administration operation, assessing performance in 35 items across 3 categories.

As a result of the evaluation, Yeosu City achieved generally excellent results, particularly receiving high scores in preventing tax base omission through post-management of local tax reductions, tax administration promotion using SNS, and collection of non-tax revenue.

The city also steadily implemented policies tailored to citizens’ perspectives, such as village tax accountant on-site consultations, promotion of useful tax stories to raise citizens’ awareness of local tax payment, and customized local tax consulting.

Mayor Kwon Oh-bong of Yeosu said, “This is the result of citizens’ sincere tax payment and the provision of citizen-centered tax services such as the operation of visiting village tax accountants by tax administration officials,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to actively and professionally promote policies for innovation in tax services.”
