'Population 410,000' Incheon Michuhol-gu Lacks Tax Office... Incheon City Proposes to National Tax Service

Incheon City has requested the National Tax Service to establish a tax office in the Michuhol-gu area.

According to the city on the 25th, Michuhol-gu, with a population of 410,000, is the only autonomous district with over 400,000 residents nationwide that does not have a tax office. Because of this, business owners and residents of Michuhol-gu have been inconvenienced by having to use the Incheon Tax Office located in Dong-gu.

Currently, the Incheon Tax Office oversees not only Michuhol-gu and Dong-gu but also Jung-gu and Ongjin-gun, making it responsible for the largest number of residents and business owners among the six tax offices in the Incheon area. As of December last year, the number of registered business owners at the Incheon Tax Office was 140,447, of which approximately half, 68,283, were from Michuhol-gu.

Last year, the National Tax Service submitted a proposal to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to establish a tax office in Michuhol-gu, but it was rejected due to the 'small government' policy. The city argues that the establishment of a tax office is urgent, noting that other areas with fewer business owners than Michuhol-gu operate their own branch tax offices.

An official from Incheon City stated, "To improve the quality of national tax administrative services and eliminate residents' inconveniences, we plan to continue requesting the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to establish a tax office."
