Mapo-gu Selected as an Excellent Institution for Local Tax and Non-Tax Revenue Management Performance

Established Delinquent Collection Task Force in 2016 for Efficient Management of Local Non-Tax Revenues, Secured Institutional Commendation and 20 Million Won Financial Incentive (Local Grants)

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yudonggyun) announced that it has been selected as an excellent institution for local non-tax revenue management performance by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, securing 20 million KRW in local allocation tax as a financial incentive along with an institutional commendation.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety analyzed and diagnosed the local non-tax revenue management performance of 243 local governments nationwide and selected 26 outstanding organizations.

Selected local governments were encouraged to pay attention to improving the collection rate of local non-tax revenues, which is relatively lower than local taxes, by providing institutional commendations as well as local allocation tax payments.

This evaluation consisted of quantitative evaluation (70 points), including indicators such as collection rate, and qualitative evaluation (30 points), including indicators such as self-help efforts.

Since 2015, Mapo-gu has promoted organizational operations to transfer delinquent collection tasks step-by-step from the imposing department to the collection department to efficiently manage local non-tax revenues and improve collection rates.

Accordingly, on July 1, 2016, a dedicated delinquent collection team was established, and from 2017, the delinquent collection tasks of local non-tax revenues for the entire general account and special accounts (including funds) have been integrated and managed by the non-tax collection team and the dedicated delinquent collection team to maximize work efficiency.

In addition, the district office is striving to efficiently manage local non-tax revenues by maintaining organic cooperation between collection and imposing departments through training to strengthen the job competency of imposing officers via the collection department, guidance inspections, and holding collection strategy meetings.

Yudonggyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “The core of good governance is the righteousness of tax administration,” and added, “We will continue to lead sound financial management by achieving fair taxation and strong collection activities together.”
