National Tax Service, Full Expansion of 'Contactless Mobile Hometax Service'
Enhanced Convenience for Users
[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The National Tax Service announced on the 14th that it will fully expand and provide non-face-to-face mobile Hometax services starting this year.
From this year, taxpayers will be able to use up to 80% of the PC-based Hometax services on mobile devices such as smartphones for national tax tasks including tax filing and various civil service applications.
The existing three tax categories of value-added tax, income tax, and capital gains tax have been expanded by adding eight more types including gift tax and consumption tax, allowing regular filing, amended filing, late filing, and correction claims for a total of 11 tax types.
Additionally, mobile national tax notices can be received via KakaoTalk or text messages instead of registered mail.
User convenience has also been significantly enhanced. Various services such as Face ID (facial recognition), chatbot consultations for small taxpayers, and photo capture and submission of supporting documents have been introduced.
