Consult with the Village Tax Accountant for Your Tax Concerns~~~

Jongno-gu Provides Free Consultation Service to Ease Common Tax Concerns Including National and Local Taxes... Also Supports Appeals for Local Taxes Under 10 Million Won in Claimed Amount

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu operates a Village Tax Accountant system for residents who lack specialized knowledge of complex tax administration or find the costs related to tax appeals burdensome.

This is to provide consultation services for frequently encountered tax concerns in daily life, such as national and local taxes, and to support the protection of rights.

Since the service is conducted in the form of pro bono work by tax accountants, anyone can receive free consultations without any cost, making it very useful.

Applications can be made by referring to the contact information of tax accountants available at nearby community service centers or the list of Village Tax Accountants posted on the district office website, and receiving non-face-to-face consultations via phone, fax, or email. If necessary, after the first consultation, face-to-face consultations are also possible through prior reservation.

Support for appeals is limited to local taxes with a claimed tax amount of less than 10 million won. Considering the taxpayer's financial status, the target is limited to low-income taxpayers, and assistance will be provided with the preparation of application forms for appeals such as objections and review requests.

Currently, one tax accountant is assigned to each of the 17 neighborhoods in Jongno-gu, but consultation services can be received regardless of neighborhood divisions. For more detailed information, inquiries can be made to the Tax Division 1, Revenue General Team of Jongno-gu Office.

Since the Village Tax Accountant system was first introduced in 2015, Jongno-gu has steadily provided related consultation services for residents. Additionally, through the district office website, information and news related to tax matters are delivered to aid understanding, including sections such as ‘Easy-to-Understand Local Taxes,’ ‘Local Tax Refunds,’ and ‘Taxpayer Protection Officer.’

A district official stated, “We hope many people interested in the Village Tax Accountant system, which alleviates residents' tax concerns and supports relief procedures, will apply. We will continue to pay close attention and make efforts so that all residents can equally receive high-quality tax administration services.”
