Munsunhwa, Gwangju Dong-gu Council Member, Proposes 'KakaoTalk Delinquency Notification Service'

Munsunhwa, a member of the Dong-gu Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City, proposed introducing a 'delinquent tax notification service using KakaoTalk.'

On the 5th, Councilor Mun made this policy suggestion during a 5-minute free speech at the 303rd extraordinary session plenary meeting.

Councilor Mun expressed concern, "According to the National Assembly Budget Office, due to the expansion of acquisition tax reductions and the lowering of local income tax rates earlier this year, a decrease of more than 460 billion KRW in local taxes is expected this year, and the '2024 government budget proposal' anticipates a decrease of over 10% (6.4 trillion KRW) in local allocation tax compared to this year."

He emphasized that by utilizing this system, "Based on the 2022 settlement, even excluding cases that are realistically difficult to collect such as no assets, business closures or bankruptcies, and ongoing lawsuits, our district is estimated to be able to collect about 2.4 billion KRW more in taxes."

In fact, Nowon-gu in Seoul introduced this system and achieved a collection effect of an additional 4.2 billion KRW in just the first quarter.
