Muju-gun Operates Local Taxpayer Protection Officer System

Designation of Dedicated Officials for the Protection of Taxpayer Rights

[Muju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Muju County announced on the 24th that it is actively addressing taxpayers' grievances and protecting their rights through the operation of the 'Local Taxpayer Protection Officer' system.

The Taxpayer Protection Officer is a person dedicated to protecting taxpayers' rights. Since 2018, Muju County has operated the Taxpayer Protection Officer system and assigned one tax official (Grade 6) to the Planning Office (Legal and Regulatory Affairs).

The Taxpayer Protection Officer handles grievances involving illegal or unjust decisions and rights violations among completed cases. Additionally, before decisions are finalized, if rights are violated or expected to be violated due to legal violations or abuse of discretion, the officer requests corrections from the tax department upon taxpayers' requests for rights protection.

Furthermore, the officer manages matters such as extensions (postponements) of tax investigation periods, reduction of additional taxes, and deferment of collection.

Meanwhile, those who have concerns or questions related to local taxes can contact the Muju County Taxpayer Protection Officer or refer to the Taxpayer Protection Officer section in the comprehensive civil service on the Muju County website.
