Yeonggwang-gun Wins 'Excellence Award' in Jeonnam Province Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 15th that it received the Excellence Award again this year in the '2020 Jeollanam-do Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation' and was awarded a prize of 54 million KRW.

This evaluation comprehensively assessed the performance of 35 items in three areas: local tax revenue expansion, non-tax revenue collection, and local tax administration operation, targeting 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do.

Yeonggwang-gun received high marks particularly in the non-tax revenue collection sector by implementing taxpayer-centered tax administration such as ▲ the province's first integrated national and local tax civil service office installation and operation, systematic management of taxation data, ▲ discovering improvements in local tax systems, and establishing a dedicated organization for non-tax revenue, leading strong delinquent tax collection activities.

This award is regarded as a significant achievement accomplished under difficult conditions where the local tax revenue of the county decreased by 19.3 billion KRW over the past two years due to the suspension of operations at Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant.

An official from the county stated, “This award is the result of the efforts of related public officials and the cooperation of residents who faithfully paid their taxes. We will continue to discover various taxpayer convenience policies and promote trustworthy tax administration to achieve even better results next year.”
