[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City, Gimpo City, and Osan City have been selected as 'top-performing' local governments in their respective groups in Gyeonggi Province's '2020 Local Tax Delinquency Settlement Evaluation for Cities and Counties.'
The province announced on the 15th that it divided 31 cities and counties into three groups based on the local tax revenue scale of the 2019 fiscal year and released evaluation results for '5 fields' comprising 17 detailed indicators including ▲delinquency settlement ▲delinquency disposition ▲delinquent debt management team recruitment and fact-finding investigations.
In Group 1, consisting of 10 cities and counties with the largest local tax revenue scale, Yongin City received the top award, Namyangju received the excellence award, and Ansan City received the encouragement award.
Yongin City received positive evaluations for its systematic administrative management of chronic and malicious delinquent taxpayers, collecting 15.9 billion won through persistent and tenacious delinquency management of high-delinquency taxpayers.
In this process, the city also connected 117 livelihood-type delinquent taxpayers facing financial difficulties to welfare departments and provided welfare services.
In Group 2 consisting of 10 cities and counties ranking 11th to 20th by local tax revenue scale, Gimpo City received the top award, Gwangju City received the excellence award, and Yangju City received the encouragement award. In the remaining Group 3 consisting of 11 cities and counties, Osan City was selected for the top award, Yeoju City for the excellence award, and Gapyeong County for the encouragement award.
For the nine cities and counties selected as outstanding organizations, the province decided to provide differentiated monetary awards totaling 300 million won by group as commendations and to boost morale among public officials in charge of local tax collection.
Yi Ui-hwan, director of the Tax Justice Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Going forward, we will continuously improve city and county evaluation indicators so that cities and counties that work hard can receive incentives, and we will strengthen scoring for loss disposition and other measures not only for delinquent tax collection performance but also to improve the efficiency of delinquency management and alleviate pressure on livelihood-type delinquent taxpayers while supporting their social participation."
