The National Tax Service has announced the promotion of eight officials to the rank of Deputy Director. The promotions, which take effect on June 29, include three women and four officials from the National Tax Service's internal training program.
The promoted officials are Kim Sang-beom, spokesperson for the National Tax Service; Lee Sun-joo, head of innovation policy; Jung Dong-joo, head of the inspection division; Kim Dong-hyun, head of the first review division; Ahn Min-kyu, head of the tax collection division; Shin Sang-mo, head of the inheritance and gift tax division; Oh Mi-soon, head of the second investigation division; and Choi Ji-eun, director of the Daejeon Regional National Tax Service's taxpayer support division.
The National Tax Service stated that the promotions reflect the officials' work performance, contributions to the organization, and efforts. The agency noted that the inclusion of three women marks a significant step toward increasing female representation in senior positions, with women comprising 37.5% of the promoted officials.
Four of the promoted officials are from the internal training program, accounting for half of the total promotions. The National Tax Service emphasized that this balance is part of its efforts to ensure equitable appointments across different categories.
The agency also highlighted the key achievements of the promoted officials. Kim Sang-beom contributed to enhancing communication with the media and improving the credibility of tax administration. Lee Sun-joo focused on securing personnel and resources for core tasks, while Jung Dong-joo led initiatives to eliminate the practice of 'favoritism' in promotions through surveys and training.
Kim Dong-hyun expedited the appeals process by operating a dedicated team for small claims. Ahn Min-kyu strengthened investigations into the assets of high-value tax delinquents to recover hidden properties.
Shin Sang-mo enhanced verification of unfair tax evasion practices, while Oh Mi-soon contributed to tax support for income earners and expanded the use of national tax data. Choi Ji-eun was recognized for her achievements in addressing tax evasion that harms the public and improving litigation processes.
The National Tax Service expressed its commitment to effectively address ongoing issues in the second half of the year and to realize a "fair, rational, and future-oriented National Tax Service."
