[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Gimhae Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Gyeongnam announced on the 1st that it held a meeting with Im Seong-bin, Commissioner of the Busan Regional Tax Office.

This meeting was arranged on the premise that active communication with the tax authorities is necessary as small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners in the region are facing difficulties due to the spread of COVID-19.

About 20 people attended the meeting, including Park Myung-jin, Chairman of the Gimhae Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Im Seong-bin, Commissioner of the Busan Regional Tax Office, Lee Kyung-yeol, Director of the Honest Taxpayer Support Bureau, Son Byung-hwan, Head of the Corporate Tax Division, and Lee Dong-jun, Director of the Gimhae Tax Office.

At the meeting, the Gimhae Chamber of Commerce and Industry proposed expanding special tax credit support for small and medium-sized enterprises, extending the corporate tax installment payment period, easing the tax audit burden on small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-sized companies, and expanding support for business succession for small and mid-sized enterprises, which are common requests from local companies related to national tax administration.

Chairman Park said, “Despite the difficult economic situation, we ask for effective tax support reflecting the local economic conditions and warm administrative assistance so that local businesspeople can have hope and courage.”

In response, Commissioner Im said, “We will actively reflect taxpayers’ voices in tax administration to reduce tax burdens and support the revitalization of the local economy to the fullest extent possible within the scope of tax administration.”

Going forward, the Gimhae Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Busan Regional Tax Office will continue to communicate regularly through various channels to resolve difficulties related to tax administration faced by the local economic community.
