[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 15th that it will conduct a "Local Tax Unclaimed Refund Recovery" campaign until the end of July to return local tax refunds that taxpayers have not claimed for a long time.

Local tax refunds refer to amounts that taxpayers should receive back due to events such as ownership transfer or scrapping after annual automobile tax prepayment, or local income tax adjustments following national tax corrections, totaling 1,041 cases and 24.5 million won.

The county sends local tax refund application notices when refunds occur, but unclaimed local tax refunds continue to arise annually due to taxpayers changing addresses, lack of interest because of small amounts, or long-term absence.

Local tax unclaimed refund inquiries can be easily checked and refund applications submitted through the simplified local tax unclaimed refund application screen on the local tax payment system, Wetax.

Additionally, local tax unclaimed refund inquiries can be made via Smart Wetax and the "My Life Information" section of the Government24 administrative service portal. For those who find internet use inconvenient, inquiries can be made to the county's Finance Department Taxation Team for confirmation.
