Gangbuk-gu Real Estate Agency Office Opening Registration and License Tax Notice Resolved in One Place

Issuance of Registration License Tax Bills on the 1st Floor Real Estate Information Department Without Passing Through Taxation Division 2

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Gyeom-su) will streamline the issuance of registration and license tax bills to alleviate inconveniences for applicants registering new real estate brokerage offices.

Previously, applicants had to apply for new real estate brokerage office registration at the Real Estate Information Division on the first floor of the district office and receive their registration certificate, then visit the Tax Division 2 on the second floor in person to obtain the license tax bill.

With the new system, visitors can receive the license tax bill immediately upon completing the registration. Once the license tax payment is confirmed, the registration certificate is issued on the spot.

The district is currently conducting a pilot for this integrated service and plans to officially operate it starting in 2021.

The district expects this to improve convenience for applicants who previously experienced difficulties moving between floors, and by issuing the registration certificate only after confirming license tax payment, it aims to prevent tax delinquency in advance.

The district has continuously strived to provide citizen-centered services for real estate brokerage office registration. In February 2018, it implemented the ‘Real Estate Brokerage Office Immediate Registration Service,’ reducing the processing period from 7 days to 1 day.

Mayor Park Gyeom-su of Gangbuk-gu said, “This project will greatly help reduce the inconvenience for administrative service users,” and added, “We will continue to simplify procedures to enhance residents’ satisfaction.”
