The National Tax Service (NTS) is expanding the usage of tax points by signing various business agreements with different organizations throughout the year to promote a culture of sincere tax payment.


On the 26th, the NTS announced that as a result of continuously expanding the places where taxpayers holding tax points can use them, a total of 13 benefits are now available, including discounts on admission fees to the National Museum of Korea and Sejong Arboretum.


Earlier, on May 18th of this year, the NTS signed a business agreement with the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) holding tax points to use overseas company credit investigation services once a year without fees.


In September, through agreements with the National Institute of Ecology and the National Marine Biodiversity Institute of Korea, taxpayers holding tax points received a 1,000 KRW discount on admission fees. Additionally, by signing an extra agreement with the Small and Medium Business Distribution Center, a 5% discount benefit will be provided when purchasing SME products not only at the existing online discount shopping mall but also at offline stores (Happy Department Store and Panpan Duty-Free Shop) (mobile coupons will be sequentially provided in 2024).


Along with this, to make it more convenient for taxpayers to use tax points, the previous method of printing paper coupons has been improved. Since September of this year, mobile coupons can be issued through Hometax Mobile (Hand Tax), allowing users to enjoy discount benefits when using partner organizations.



An NTS official stated, "Throughout 2023, we have worked to activate the tax points system by expanding usage locations and enhancing convenience for taxpayers. Going forward, the NTS will continue efforts to expand practical usage locations in daily life through cooperation with various related organizations and actively promote the system so that many taxpayers can benefit from it."
