Moon Jun-hee, Hapcheon County Governor, is conducting a prize draw for diligent local tax payers.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 10th that it was selected as an excellent institution in the 2021 local tax administration comprehensive evaluation conducted on 18 cities and counties in Gyeongnam, receiving a prize money of 100 million won and an institutional commendation.

This is an incentive provided for efforts to increase tax revenue in 2020 to induce healthy competition, and it is the result of a comprehensive evaluation of 23 items in 8 areas covering overall securing of autonomous resources such as local tax administration and arrears management.

Last year, the county implemented various policies to approach residents, such as producing "easy-to-read tax bills" considering socially vulnerable groups and creating an "atmosphere of sincere tax payment" for faithful local tax payers.

In response to the COVID-19 situation, a 50% reduction in resident tax for workplaces (individuals and corporations) was promoted.

For the purpose of the Good Landlord Movement, property tax reductions were promoted for building owners who reduced rent for small business owners, and extensions of deadlines, collection deferrals, and arrears disposition deferrals were promoted according to local tax-related laws, receiving high evaluations in various fields including local tax arrears collection, leading to its selection as an excellent local tax administration institution.

Kim Sang-wook, head of the tax administration department, evaluated this as "the result of advanced and mature tax payment awareness of residents centered on the head of the institution," and said, "We will continue to promote the convenience of tax payment for residents and carry out rational and fair tax administration to contribute to the expansion of local finances."
