Simplified Taxpayer VAT Filing? Hometax 'Tax Secretary' Helps

For Simplified Taxpayers Operating One Business Type Without Tax Invoice Sales

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kim Hyewon] The National Tax Service announced on the 16th that it has introduced the 'Tax Secretary' service to Hometax for the first time starting with this year's simplified taxpayer value-added tax (VAT) filing.

Since the 13th, the Tax Secretary service has been launched for 'final VAT filings by simplified taxpayers engaged in a single business type without tax invoice sales.'

Through this, the National Tax Service expects to improve the filing convenience for approximately 1.66 million small business owners who find it difficult to receive assistance from tax agents.

The Tax Secretary is a service that automatically completes the tax return by having taxpayers answer step-by-step questions without the need to find and enter each item on the return individually.

The National Tax Service also provides 'chatbot consultation, help materials, and short-form videos' together with the Tax Secretary service to quickly resolve any questions during the return preparation process.

An official from the National Tax Service stated, "We will continuously analyze taxpayer satisfaction and expand the Tax Secretary service to general taxpayers' VAT and capital gains tax filings, developing it into an intelligent Hometax."
