Pyeongtaek Selected as 'Most Excellent Organization' in Gyeonggi Province's Local Tax Administration Evaluation for Two Consecutive Years

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Suwon] Pyeongtaek City announced on the 9th that it has been selected as the most excellent organization for two consecutive years, following 2023, in the 2024 Local Tax Administration Evaluation (based on 2023 performance results) held by Gyeonggi Province.

The Local Tax Administration Evaluation is conducted annually by Gyeonggi Province based on six basic indicators including local tax collection and growth rates, accurate tax revenue estimates, and litigation, as well as 10 adjustment items including system improvements and implementation of national projects, in order to promote favorable competition among cities and counties within the province to secure independent revenue sources and boost the morale of tax officials.

Pyeongtaek achieved the highest performance in Group 1 (Suwon, Goyang, Yongin, Seongnam, Hwaseong, etc.), which has the largest tax revenue scale.

Despite difficult economic conditions, the city made utmost efforts in source management by conducting planned investigations into unreported tax sources and discovering omitted tax sources, implementing measures to minimize current-year tax delinquency, and successfully collected 1 trillion 546.5 billion won, exceeding the local tax collection target.

Additionally, the city actively promoted sound tax payment culture and taxpayer-focused tax administration by operating one-stop application reception (acquisition tax on-site reporting, automobile tax refunds) and visiting village tax professionals, and providing certificates and benefits to excellent and faithful taxpayers.

Moon Mun-hong, head of the Tax Administration Division, stated, "Being selected as the most excellent organization for two consecutive years in the Local Tax Administration Evaluation was possible thanks to the efforts of tax administration officials who work diligently and the faithful payment by citizens," adding "We will do our best this year to realize a trustworthy tax administration."
