[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong]=Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 29th that it received the 'Excellence Award' in the '2021 Local Non-Tax Revenue Collection Performance Evaluation' hosted by Jeollanam-do.

This evaluation was conducted on 22 cities and counties within the province, assessing four areas over the past year: current year fines on non-tax revenue, carryover arrears, provincial fund refund collection rate, and efforts to expand non-tax revenue.

The reason for receiving the Excellence Award in this year's local non-tax revenue evaluation was the organization and operation of a dedicated team for non-tax revenue arrears, which carried out customized collection activities through systematic management of defaulters.

In particular, this achievement was made by collecting 240 million KRW in fines for illegal banners, with a current year fine collection rate of 81.6%, ranking first among the 22 cities and counties in the province.

Kim Heejong, Director of the Finance Department, said, "This award is the result of the high level of civic consciousness of the residents who faithfully paid local non-tax revenues despite the difficult social conditions caused by COVID-19," and added, "We will continue to actively develop various taxpayer convenience policies to provide tax services that satisfy and resonate with the residents."
