Jangsu County in North Jeolla Province announced on July 31 that it will operate a 'self-check window for acquisition tax reductions' at the county office to help taxpayers avoid missing out on potential benefits during the acquisition tax reporting process.
The acquisition tax reduction program covers various areas, including first-time home purchases and support for childbirth and child-rearing. However, the complexity of related laws and the variety of reduction types often leave taxpayers unaware of their eligibility for these benefits.
To address this, the county will provide a self-check window during the acquisition tax reporting phase, along with informational materials and a self-check list to prevent taxpayers from overlooking available reductions.
The self-check list is divided into categories for real estate acquisition reductions and vehicle acquisition reductions, allowing taxpayers to easily verify their eligibility by checking each item.
If a taxpayer qualifies for a reduction based on the checklist, a county official will review the relevant laws and required documents to provide detailed guidance on the actual application of the reduction and necessary procedures.
However, the self-check list is intended as a reference tool for preliminary verification of eligibility, and the final determination of reductions will be made after reviewing related laws, such as the 'Local Tax Special Cases Restriction Act,' and submitted documents.
County Mayor Choi Hoon-sik stated, "We established this service to ensure that taxpayers who qualify for acquisition tax reductions do not miss out on benefits due to a lack of awareness of the relevant systems. We will continue to expand taxpayer-centered tax services from the perspective of our residents."
The acquisition tax is a local tax imposed on individuals acquiring taxable items such as real estate, vehicles, and machinery.
Jangsu County announced on July 31 that it has completed the 'Cheoncheon Josin District Water and Sewage Pipeline Maintenance Project' and will begin supplying water to a total of 57 households, including 44 households in Josin Village and 13 households in Sinchon Village, starting August 3.
This project was initiated to improve the water supply environment for local residents who have experienced difficulties in accessing water, enhance water and sewage infrastructure, and create a pleasant and stable living environment.
A total of 2.5 billion won was invested in this project, which began in 2023 and involved the installation of 5.5 kilometers of water pipelines and 2.9 kilometers of sewage pipelines in the Cheoncheon area, as well as the establishment of one pumping station.
Most importantly, the installation of the pumping station and the expansion of water pipelines will provide residents of Josin and Sinchon villages with a stable water pressure and a continuous supply of clean drinking water.
According to the National Water Resources Management Comprehensive Information System, there are 18 pumping stations within Jangsu County.
