Haman-gun Operates Local Tax Representative System for Small Taxpayers

Haman-gun, Gyeongnam Province operates a designated agent system (tax accountants, lawyers, certified public accountants) that provides free representation for local tax appeals to residents who are unable to appoint tax agents due to financial difficulties.

The support targets individual taxpayers, excluding corporations, with a claimed tax amount of 10 million KRW or less, a comprehensive income amount including spouse of 50 million KRW or less, and property ownership value of 500 million KRW or less. Those subject to travel bans or high-amount, habitual tax delinquents are not eligible to apply.

Hanan County Office.

When filing a local tax appeal, applicants submit a designated agent application form. After reviewing the taxpayer’s income and property qualifications, the selection result is notified within 7 days from the date of receipt.

An official from the county stated, “The designated agent system will help protect the rights of low-income taxpayers who cannot appoint tax agents due to complicated procedures and costs.”

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Tax Policy Division of the County Tax Accounting Department.
