Yeonggwang-gun Awarded 'Grand Prize' in Comprehensive Local Tax Administration Evaluation

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 28th that it won the 'Grand Prize' in the '2021 Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation' hosted by Jeollanam-do.

The county has achieved excellent results every year in the Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation, but this year's award is even more meaningful as it is the first time to receive the grand prize since the evaluation was implemented.

The Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of 32 items in 3 categories covering the overall operation of local tax administration, such as local tax revenue expansion, non-tax revenue collection, and taxpayer convenience policies, targeting 22 cities and counties in the province over the past year.

The county received high scores for ▲ preventing tax base omission and discovering evaded tax bases through post-management of local tax reductions ▲ increasing non-tax revenue collection rate by imposing and collecting 240 million KRW in fines for illegal banners ▲ continuous operation of local tax mobile civil service offices with voluntary acquisition tax reporting guidance and village tax accountants.

In particular, despite the economic downturn caused by COVID-19, the county was highly evaluated for thoroughly managing the tax base and expanding various convenience policies for taxpayers, earning the honor of the 2021 Local Tax Administration Comprehensive Evaluation Grand Prize along with a prize money of 100 million KRW and a reward of 10 million KRW, which greatly helped increase the county's revenue.

A county official said, "This award is a joint achievement of the active cooperation of the residents who faithfully paid local taxes despite difficult social conditions and all the staff who silently did their best in tax administration work," and added, "We will continue to do our best to discover new tax bases, expand independent resources, and develop taxpayer convenience policies."
