Yongin City Achieves 'Triple Crown' in Gyeonggi Province's Local Tax Revenue Management Evaluation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City won the 'Excellence Award' in Gyeonggi Province's '2025 Comprehensive Local Tax Delinquency Management Evaluation,' achieving a triple crown in the revenue sector by adding this to the previously awarded 'Excellence Award' in the 'Comprehensive Local Tax Administration Evaluation' and the 'Grand Prize' in the 'Comprehensive Non-Tax Revenue Management Evaluation,' the city announced on the 2nd.

The 'Comprehensive Local Tax Delinquency Management Evaluation' was conducted by Gyeonggi Province, dividing 31 cities and counties into five groups based on delinquent tax amount, and was evaluated across 28 items in three categories: delinquent tax settlement performance, enforcement execution, and delinquent tax collection initiatives.

Despite difficult revenue conditions caused by economic downturn and high inflation, the city conducted intensive collection activities including △real estate and vehicle public auctions △home searches and movable asset seizures △license plate impoundment, and received high marks in delinquent tax settlement performance to win the excellence award.

The city also won the excellence award in the 'Comprehensive Local Tax Administration Evaluation' announced in March for highly valued taxpayer convenience measures including active electronic tax notices, operation of village tax consultants, and acquisition tax exemption system guidance. The city also secured stable tax revenue by collecting 2.1168 trillion won in local taxes, an increase of 54.2 billion won compared to the previous year.

In the 'Comprehensive Non-Tax Revenue Management Evaluation,' the city won the top grade 'Grand Prize' for securing 7.8 billion won in municipal property through discovery of previously overlooked city-owned land in the Dongbaek district and collecting approximately 60 million won in annual usage fees from the relevant facility, recognizing achievements in securing new revenue sources and increasing interest income.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "Achieving meaningful results across all sectors of revenue administration including local taxes, non-tax revenue, and delinquent tax management is the result of efforts toward fair, citizen-centered tax administration and efficient fiscal management," and added, "This award represents administrative innovation that goes beyond mere numbers, enabling Yongin Special City to provide better administrative services based on a stable fiscal foundation."

The mayor further stated, "Going forward, I will do my utmost to ensure that Yongin Special City stands as a leading financially independent city in Gyeonggi Province through fair and transparent tax administration that meets the expectations of our citizens."
