Suncheon City Selected as Best Institution for Three Consecutive Years in Jeonnam Province Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) was selected as the best institution in the 2020 Jeonnam Province Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation on the 14th, securing financial incentives of 82 million KRW including prize money.

According to the city on the 15th, with this selection as the best institution, Suncheon City has been chosen as the best institution for three consecutive years, following 2018 and 2019.

Jeonnam Province evaluated the 2019 local tax administration performance of 22 cities and counties within the province across 35 items in three areas: local tax revenue expansion, non-tax revenue collection, and local tax administration operation, awarding outstanding institutions.

Suncheon City has actively expanded tax revenue and implemented taxpayer convenience policies through various initiatives such as promptly responding to citizens' demands for tax payment convenience and changes in the tax environment, sending voluntary acquisition tax self-reporting notices to prevent additional taxes, and establishing a visible ARS payment system.

Kang Young-sun, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau of Suncheon City, stated, "Despite difficult conditions such as the economic downturn, we were able to achieve excellent results thanks to the cooperation of citizens who faithfully paid taxes and the efforts of our staff," adding, "We will continue to actively promote fair taxation and taxpayer convenience policies to do our best in expanding the poor autonomous revenue."

In 2020, Suncheon City plans to implement taxpayer-centered policies that satisfy citizens' right to know by printing QR codes on over one million local tax and non-tax revenue bills sent annually, providing comprehensive information on local taxes and non-tax revenues anytime and anywhere without spatial or temporal restrictions.
