Tax Office to Be Established in Yangju as Demand for Tax Administration Increases

Following confirmation of the establishment of a Yangju Tax Office in press reports on the budget proposal for next year submitted to the National Assembly, which included the establishment of three new tax offices by the National Tax Service, Yangju City has launched administrative support efforts.

Yangju City is actively reviewing administrative support for prompt opening in cooperation with Representative Jung Sung-ho (Democratic Party, Dongducheon-Yangju-Yeoncheon District), who has been pursuing the establishment of a tax office.

The city has felt limitations as demand for tax administration services has increased due to new city development and expansion of industrial sites; however, the Uijeongbu Tax Office tax consultation office currently located in City Hall operates primarily on simple civil services such as issuing certificates and documents.

Furthermore, the city has consistently demanded the establishment of a tax office to resolve the inconvenience faced by citizens and business owners who must visit tax offices outside the city for comprehensive tax consultation and filing.

Yangju City Mayor Jung Deok-young stated, "The Yangju Tax Office is a necessary institution to resolve citizens' tax-related inconveniences and provide administrative services befitting the city's growth," and added, "In accordance with procedures, we will implement administrative measures that the city can support, including providing temporary office space."
