Shin Woori, a tax official (Tax Grade 9) from the Suncheon City Collection Division, received favorable evaluations for proposing a plan to secure revenue by selling carbon emission permits obtained by enhancing the natural carbon absorption functions of tidal flats and wetlands to achieve the government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 in the research project titled "Revenue Increase Plan through Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading (Offset)."



A city official said, "This award is the result of research activities accumulated by the local tax revenue expansion research group 'Se(hwa) Hangari,' which has been studying topic selection and local tax revenue expansion plans since the beginning of the year," adding, "We will continue to improve work expertise through continuous workshops, discover various new revenue sources, and explore new collection methods."
