Changwon Special City received an Excellence Award at the Taxpayer Rights Promotion Best Practices Presentation Contest.

At this presentation contest, out of a total of 79 submitted cases from local governments nationwide, 13 local governments that passed the preliminary written evaluation gave presentations. The final ranking was determined by combining the on-site evaluation scores, which assessed content completeness (30 points), audience delivery and attitude (20 points), and responsiveness to Q&A (20 points), with the preliminary evaluation score (30 points).

Yunseong Kim, Taxpayer Protection Officer (Tax Grade 6), presented an excellent case of promoting taxpayer rights through proactive and active resolution of taxpayer grievances under the theme, “Resolved Grievance Complaints! Who’s the Next Victim? ? Preventing Recurrence Is More Important Than Resolution.”

The main points included ▲ expanding the advance notification service for the early expiration of local tax exemption grace periods to taxpayers who sold exempted real estate, providing benefits such as penalty tax reductions ▲ expanding the scope of tax guarantee targets to actively operate the tax collection deferment system ▲ operating a notification service to prevent excessive collection of resident tax (employee portion) ▲ strengthening promotion of the Taxpayer Protection Officer system to tax officials to enhance support for taxpayers needing tax assistance.

Manki Kim, Legal Affairs Officer, stated, “We will continue to make efforts to further activate the Taxpayer Protection Officer system. We will do our best to protect the rights and interests of taxpayers suffering from illegal, unfair dispositions or unjust taxes.”
