Operating Practical, Daily Life-Oriented Tax Education as a Regular Program

Gimcheon City in North Gyeongsang Province has launched a customized local tax education program to help married immigrant women settle stably in the region.

The class was taught by the head of the local income tax team from the Taxation Division at Gimcheon City Hall, who provided case-based explanations of local tax systems closely related to daily life, such as acquisition tax, automobile tax, property tax, and resident tax.

To enhance understanding, guidebooks in nine languages—including Vietnamese, Chinese, and English—were provided, and non-face-to-face payment methods, such as Smart Wetax, easy payment systems, and ATMs, were also introduced.

In particular, the education highlighted the importance of preventing tax delinquency by explaining the disadvantages of arrears and introducing prior consultation programs.

Leveraging this program, Gimcheon City plans to collaborate with the Family Center to operate the customized local tax education as a regular program and further strengthen its foreign resident-friendly administrative services.

Local tax education in Gimcheon goes beyond simple tax guidance—it is a practical administrative service designed to help married immigrant women settle smoothly into their communities. Easy-to-understand, customized education is expected to build a foundation of trust linking foreign residents and the local community.
