[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Hwaseong Special Municipality announced on the 4th that it has won the Grand Prize for two consecutive years in the '2025 Local Tax Audit Management Evaluation for Cities and Counties' led by Gyeonggi Province.

The local tax audit management evaluation divides 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province into three groups based on tax revenue scale and assesses overall audit operations, including corporate audit collection performance, audit implementation efforts, and work environment improvements in the tax audit sector.

The city was selected as the Grand Prize winner in Group 1 (based on assessment scale), which includes Suwon, Yongin, and Goyang, and will receive a commendation from the Gyeonggi Province Governor.

The city conducted proactive and dynamic tax audits targeting approximately 120,000 businesses, the most among basic local governments in the province, recovering concealed and omitted tax sources, and received high evaluation for its efforts to realize tax justice and secure stable tax revenue.

Additionally, the city received positive evaluation for efforts in taxpayer rights protection, including ▲promoting tax audit deferrals for small-scale and conscientious taxpaying businesses ▲distributing local tax guidance booklets and leaflets for companies ▲notifying taxpayers of the taxpayer rights charter during tax audits.

Song Mun-ho, Director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, said, "Going forward, we will implement transparent and fair tax administration that resonates with taxpayers through equitable tax audits, uncover concealed and omitted tax sources, and make efforts to promote fair taxation and create a sound tax compliance environment."
