Gapyeong County Wins Excellence Award at Gyeonggi Province 'Non-Tax Revenue Research Presentation Contest'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Gapyeong County announced on the 4th that it won the Excellence Award at the '2024 Non-Tax Revenue Research Presentation Contest' hosted by Gyeonggi Province.

The Non-Tax Revenue Research Presentation Contest was held from the 29th to the 30th of last month at Sun Valley Hotel in Yeoju, with attendance from Gyeonggi Province and officials in charge of non-tax revenue operations from 31 cities and counties.

The presentation contest is held annually to discover new revenue sources and share best practices through research and deliberation on non-tax revenue operations.

In this contest, nine cities and counties were selected as award winners through the second phase of presentations, following the first phase written screening of research projects submitted by 31 cities and counties in the province. Gapyeong County won the Excellence Award.

The subject presented by Gapyeong County was 'Concluding Agreement on Recovery of Subsidized Revenue from Tourist Shuttle Bus.'

This involves clarifying regulations on recovering subsidy business revenue, which can lead not only to the discovery of new revenue sources but also to an increase in non-tax revenue.

Park Jae-geun, Director of the County Tax Administration Division, stated, "Gapyeong County has a low financial independence rate of 18.3%, making the securing of non-tax revenue sources for independent finances important." He added, "Taking this Excellence Award as a stepping stone, we will continue to take the lead in expanding independent financial resources through ongoing research on non-tax revenue operations."
