[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that it was selected as the "Best Local Government" in the "2021 National Local Governments Non-Tax Revenue Operation Performance Analysis and Diagnosis Evaluation" conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

With this selection as the best local government, the county secured an institutional commendation along with a financial incentive of 40 million KRW in general grant tax.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety has been analyzing and diagnosing the operation performance of local governments' non-tax revenue annually since 2015 to increase the collection rate of non-tax revenue, which is relatively lower compared to local taxes.

This evaluation divided 243 local governments nationwide into 13 groups based on population and financial status, and selected one best and one excellent local government by combining quantitative evaluation (70 points) such as collection rate and qualitative evaluation (30 points) such as self-effort.

A county official stated, "Non-tax revenue, along with local taxes, plays an important role in our county's welfare resources and maintenance of social public order, and we will continue to do our best to expand autonomous resources."
