Gyeonggi-do Collects 1.2878 Trillion KRW in Non-Tax Revenue Last Year... Surpasses 1 Trillion KRW for the First Time

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province collected 1.2878 trillion won in non-tax revenue last year. This is the first time the collection amount has surpassed 1 trillion won. On the other hand, the carryover delinquent amount recorded an all-time low of 299.1 billion won.

Local non-tax revenue refers to the autonomous income of local governments other than local taxes such as acquisition tax and registration tax. It is revenue collected from residents for administrative purposes such as usage fees, service charges, fines, and penalties.

Before Governor Lee Jae-myung took office in 2017, the collection rate of non-tax revenue was only 69.2%, but it has continuously increased since then, reaching its highest point last year. The carryover delinquent amount decreased by more than 100 billion won from 405.9 billion won in 2017 to 299.1 billion won last year.

The province views these results as the outcome of various delinquent disposition policies aimed at realizing fair tax justice and the expansion of professional personnel supporting these efforts.

This year, the province has set the non-tax revenue collection target at 90% of the assessed amount and the carryover delinquent amount at 104.7 billion won.

To achieve these goals, the province will implement various policies including ▲strengthening delinquent disposition activities against high-amount and habitual delinquents ▲support for livelihood-type delinquents and activation of loss disposition ▲research presentation contests on excellent cases of non-tax revenue expansion and customized consulting by department ▲discovery of new collection methods such as detention of fine delinquents, seizure of apartment pre-sale rights, and national tax refund claims.

Kim Min-kyung, head of the Tax Justice Division of the province, emphasized, "The importance of non-tax revenue, an autonomous resource that forms the foundation of local autonomy along with local taxes, is growing day by day. We will strive to create a just taxpaying culture by appropriately utilizing strong delinquent dispositions against high-amount delinquents and loss disposition, collection deferral, and installment payments for livelihood-type delinquents."
