[Asia Economy Yeongnam News Bureau, Reporter Choi Jaeho] Yeongcheon City (Mayor Choi Kimoon) announced on May 6 that, in recognition of May as the month for filing individual local income tax, it will operate an assistance desk until the 31st, where residents can file their comprehensive income tax returns together with their local income tax returns.

This assistance desk is specifically intended for elderly taxpayers aged 65 and older and individuals with disabilities among the 'Pre-filled Return Recipients' (those for whom the tax office sends a pre-filled tax return, such as small-scale taxpayers), who may find electronic filing difficult.

Jung Donghoon, Head of the Taxation Division, stated, "While we encourage the use of electronic filing methods such as Hometax and mobile platforms to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we also operate an on-site assistance desk at all times for information-vulnerable groups who have difficulty with electronic filing, so please feel free to use this service."

Meanwhile, Yeongcheon City has extended the payment deadlines for comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax until August 31 for small business owners and others affected by COVID-19. For taxpayers who are not eligible for the automatic extension, the city plans to allow deadline extensions through a separate application process if they can demonstrate significant damage due to COVID-19.
