Osan City Receives Top Excellence Award in Gyeonggi Province's Local Tax Investigation Evaluation

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] Osan City announced on the 29th that it has been selected as the top-performing institution in the 2024 Gyeonggi Province corporate tax investigation evaluation for cities and counties.

Gyeonggi Province evaluated all 31 cities and counties' corporate tax investigation work in 2023 by dividing them into 3 groups according to population and tax revenue scale, aiming to promote healthy competition among municipalities and to commend cities and counties that have contributed to stable tax revenue growth.

Osan City received high scores across 6 indicators including corporate tax investigation performance and implementation rate, earning the top position in Group 3 (top excellence), receiving the institutional commendation consecutively following last year's award.

The city discovered overlooked tax sources through regular corporate tax investigations, including under-reported acquisition tax standards, and secured 3.1 billion won in independent financial resources—a 186% increase compared to the previous year—through planned investigations including first-time home purchase exemption investigations.

A city official stated, "This year, we will implement a tax investigation preferred timing selection system and strengthen voluntary reporting and payment promotion to create a sound tax payment culture through business-friendly tax investigations."
