Goheung-gun Wins Grand Prize at the 'Innovation and Proactive Administration Best Practice Competition'

Contribution to Tax Burden Relief for Taxpayers and Reduction of Delinquency Rate through Officer's Discretionary Taxation in Land Use Change

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 8th, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it received the grand prize in the city/county and local public corporation category at the ‘2020 Innovation and Active Administration Best Practice Competition’ conducted by Jeollanam-do.

Since October, Goheung-gun was selected for the grand prize at the active administration competition hosted by Jeollanam-do with the theme “Tax smartly without local tax (acquisition) reporting, and reduce additional tax burden for residents.”

This evaluation selected active administration cases that enhanced the convenience of citizens and businesses and contributed to provincial government development, focusing on public perception, the proactiveness of the person in charge, importance, and potential for dissemination. Through the first written screening, second online voting, and third final judging, it was selected as the grand prize winner and received a commendation from the Jeollanam-do government.

This case was highly evaluated as a major example of active administration where a public official improved an unreasonable regulation. The acquisition tax officer imposed taxation ex officio without requiring the civil petitioner's report when changing the designated location, thereby minimizing inconvenience by alleviating taxpayers’ tax burdens caused by omitted reports and greatly contributing to reducing delinquency rates.

The county official expressed, “We hope more residents will benefit from this system,” and added, “We will strive even harder to establish proactive systems and provide education to promote active administration.”
