Gyeonggi Province held an extra-budgetary revenue research presentation contest and selected nine outstanding cases, including Bucheon City's "Pursuing Extra-Budgetary Revenue Arrears to the End."

From the 25th to the 26th, Gyeonggi Province held the "Provincial and City-County Joint Extra-Budgetary Revenue Research Presentation Contest" at the Resom Resort in Taean-gun, Chungnam, and finalized the rankings after internal evaluations of nine projects as ▲Grand Prize (Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province, Guri City) ▲Excellence Award (Pocheon City, Gunpo City, Paju City) ▲Encouragement Award (Guri City, Anyang City, Gwangmyeong City).

The grand prize-winning Bucheon City’s case, "Collecting Extra-Budgetary Revenue Arrears to the End," involved measures taken against companies that continued to occupy public property without authorization even after the lease period of corporate support centers such as Bucheon Technopark had ended.

Through various legal actions beyond existing arrears disposition, including civil lawsuits for the return of unjust enrichment and joint liability notifications to directors and auditors, Bucheon City collected 170 million KRW in unauthorized occupancy compensation fees, resolving malicious unauthorized occupation of public property.

Ryu Young-yong, Director of the Tax Justice Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The outstanding cases selected this time are excellent policies that can be adopted by other local governments," and added, "We will continue efforts such as sharing best practices to expand local finances."

The "Extra-Budgetary Revenue Research Presentation Contest" has been held annually since 1997 to enhance the work capabilities of responsible officials by developing and sharing excellent techniques for collecting extra-budgetary revenue. Local extra-budgetary revenue refers to self-generated income imposed and collected for administrative purposes, such as usage fees, commissions, and charges, excluding local taxes like acquisition and registration taxes, within the financial income of local governments.
