Local non-tax revenue refers to the autonomous income of local governments other than local taxes such as acquisition tax and registration tax. This includes usage fees, service charges, property sales and business income, and contributions. In particular, it is an autonomous resource that forms the foundation of local autonomy, accounting for 23% of its own revenue.

Looking at Gyeonggi Province's annual non-tax revenue collection rates: ▲2017 was 69.2%, ▲2020 was 81.1%, and ▲2021 was 81.4%, showing an increasing trend every year.

The province evaluated that various delinquent tax disposition policies to realize fair tax justice and the expansion of professional personnel supporting these efforts have shown results.

This year, the province set the non-tax revenue collection target at 90% of the imposed amount and more than 35% of the carried-over delinquent amount of 332.4 billion won.

Choi Won-sam, head of the Tax Justice Division of the province, emphasized, "The importance of non-tax revenue, an autonomous resource that forms the foundation of local autonomy along with local taxes, is increasing day by day," adding, "We will strive to create a just and fair taxpaying culture by appropriately utilizing strong delinquent tax dispositions against high-amount defaulters and suspension of collection, collection deferment, and installment payments for livelihood-related defaulters."
