Goheung-gun, Noticeable Improvement in Acquisition Tax Reporting and Payment Method for Land Category Change

Leading the Protection of Taxpayer Rights by Combining Acquisition Tax Reporting and Taxation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The tax administration of Goheung-gun is gaining positive responses from local residents by introducing a system that prioritizes the convenience of the residents.

On the 14th, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it plans to actively resolve inconveniences caused by taxpayers' visits by improving the acquisition tax reporting and payment system related to land category changes and imposing taxes ex officio.

The acquisition tax due to land category changes refers to the local tax imposed when the value of land increases as a result of changing the land category, such as through the construction of buildings.

Acquisition tax is a tax item where the tax amount is finalized when the taxpayer reports and pays the tax. If not reported, a penalty for false reporting (20%) and a penalty for late payment (2.5/10000 per day) are added and taxed.

Goheung-gun is improving the system by imposing taxes ex officio and sending tax bills without requiring the acquirer's visit report, in order to relieve the burden of penalty taxes caused by non-reporting due to residents' lack of understanding and interest in local taxes.

An official from the county said, "Residents can resolve the inconvenience of having to visit the county office by paying at a nearby financial institution after receiving the tax bill, and it is expected that the burden of penalty taxes due to non-reporting will be drastically reduced."

He added, "We will continue to take the lead in protecting taxpayers' rights and interests and do our best to implement a communicative tax administration that takes one step closer to the residents."
