National Tax Service Commissioner Lim Kwang-hyun has personally inspected the readiness of the tax delinquency management team, which is slated for a nationwide launch next month. The visit underscores the importance the service places on this new initiative.
The tax delinquency management team is a newly established organization within the National Tax Service. Following the launch of a 500-member national tax delinquency team in March, recruitment is currently in progress for an additional 5,500 personnel. These new members will be divided between national tax (2,500) and non-national tax revenue (3,000) roles, preparing for the expanded operations starting in July.
During his visit to the Donganyang Regional Tax Office, Lim Kwang-hyun listened to feedback from field staff and reviewed the operational status of the tax delinquency management team. He highlighted the multifaceted benefits of the program, describing it as a "key project with five effects in one stone." These benefits include realizing tax justice, securing financial resources, creating productive jobs, and identifying welfare recipients.
Lim urged the team to "prove solid performance in the field" to ensure that the public deeply feels the necessity and effectiveness of the tax delinquency management initiative. The commissioner's engagement signals a strong push to make the program a success and reinforce tax compliance across the country.
