The tax system in Korea is the so-called one-item-one-tax law which has separate tax law for each taxation according to tax law. The common and procedural aspects of these tax laws are the same or similar, but they are separately prescribed by the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act. These legal systems complicate the tax law and increase the cost of tax cooperation, resulting in tax inefficiency. In this study, the National Tax Act and the laws of the Local Tax Act are integrated and presented. It is proposed that the common provisions should be integrated into a single law and the unique matters should be defined in each of the National Tax Basic Act and Local Tax Basic Act, by comparing and analyzing the provisions of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Basic Act. The integration of the common elements of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act is expected to improve tax efficiency by reducing tax complexity and tax cooperation costs. In addition, the National Tax Act and the Local Tax Act are expected to maintain the characteristics of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act when they are specified in the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Basic Act. This study is expected to be a research that can reduce tax inefficiency and help convenience of taxpayer and tax administration.

This study aimed to determine the changes in the local fiscal structure brought about by the change in the transaction tax, including the acquisition tax, by the central government. The review of the analysis results proved the following. First, the government's transaction tax exemption policy effectively influenced the expansion of the local fiscal budget. Transaction tax exemptions such as acquisition tax exemptions would not contribute to the expansion of the local fiscal budget in the short run, but may do so in the long run. Second, the review of the effect of the transaction tax exemption policy by the central government on the local fiscal structure confirmed that its impact on the local fiscal structure may vary depending on the timing of such tax exemption. Third, the overall local fiscal structure as a result of the transaction tax exemption by the central government was confirmed to have been influenced more by the fiscal capability of the local government than by the income level of the local residents. In conclusion, the stimulation of real estate transactions using tax tools may positively influence the overall fiscal structure of local governments, but it would also put pressure on the fiscal management of local governments because it is largely influenced by the fiscal capability of the local governments.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the performance of local taxes in Indonesia through the estimation of tax capacity and tax effort, as well as classifying provinces based on the estimated value of tax capacity and tax effort. Research design, data and methodology: this study uses panel data of 34 provinces in Indonesia for the period of 2014-2018. The analytical method used in the tax capacity model is panel data regression to explain the factors that influence tax performance. Tax effort is estimated by the ratio of tax to tax capacity. Results: The results of the analysis show that gini ratio and regional expenditures have a significant positive effect on the tax ratio, while the share of GRDP in the manufacturing sector and HDI has a significant negative effect on the tax ratio. Based on the results, there are 19 provinces that have low tax capacity and 16 provinces that have low tax effort. Conclusions: The development of local tax performance tends to fluctuate with an average of 1.24 percent per year. Gini ratio and regional expenditure have a significant positive effect on the tax ratio, while the share of GRDP in the manufacturing sector and HDI have a significant negative effect on the tax ratio.

The place of local tax payment has a realistic meaning in determining the jurisdiction of local taxation. In deciding where to pay tax, the benefit principle, beyond the convenience of tax payment and the efficiency of tax collection, should be considered as the core criteria. The benefit principle seems to be well reflected in the payment place of most local taxes. However, in the case of the Local Income Tax that shares the tax base with the Income Tax, the payment places for business income and capital gains of real estate need to be changed from the place of residence to of business and real estate. Since the benefits of local governments' public services contribute to generating income through various activities such as working or conducting business, it is necessary to ensure that taxation is carried out in the benefit areas where such income activities are conducted. This reform seems to alleviate the tax imbalance among local governments to some extent, and certain positive effects are expected in the areas of tax payment and collection.

In Korea, religious bodies are being given tax benefits like tax exemption and reduction in accordance with the Local Tax Law. By the way, there's no difference between tax benefits given to religious bodies and other kinds of non-profit corporations. In other words, tax exemption and reduction for religious bodies are being made without considering the very nature of the bodies. This is causing lots of problems. Currently, tax supports to religious bodies are mostly focusing on tax items related to their property, considerably diverting from the ultimate purpose and objectives of tax exemption and reduction for religious organizations. This is not also weakening local finance, but also diverting from the basic intent of so-called the induction system that if necessary, tax supports are given, but they have to be minimized. To solve these problems, comprehensive actions need to be taken, for example, reducing tax benefits given to religious bodies' property and motivating the bodies to make a variety of donations like in developed countries. Now, religious bodies should change their consciousness of tax liability that is imposed by the Local Tax Law. And the government should be more systematic in the collection and management of data that are necessary to levy taxes on religious bodies. If required, the government show the data to religious bodies, convincing them to positively fulfil their tax liability without complaint. This study discusses the current state and problems of existing local tax systems in relation to religious bodies and then propose how to improve the systems. If the systems of tax exemption and reduction for religious bodies under the Local Tax Law can be improved, it would contribute to improve the finance of local autonomous bodies.

I conducted this study, trying to improve the methods of Sung-Nam city local tax bills, which was based on my previous study where I suggested methods into developing redesign of tax bills. Local tax bills are labeled to be very intricate and puzzling experience to tax payers. To resolve this issue, several local governments have redesigned their tax bills for citizens; however, it was not effective. Therefore I apply the methods to protect their privacy on tax bills and provide checks on their pay bills. Also I design to distinguish between different taxes and change into a better layout for their legibility and better understanding on tax bills. From my previous study, I utilized suggestions into Sung-Nam local tax bills which changed flaws into improvements and easier understanding of the tax payers. I believe the improvements in Sung Nam local tax bills will pursue the public interest of the community through public service design innovations.

This study introduces an effective method for predicting individual local tax delinquencies using prevalent machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The evaluation of credit risk holds great significance in the financial realm, impacting both companies and individuals. While credit risk prediction has been explored using statistical and machine learning techniques, their application to tax arrears prediction remains underexplored. We forecast individual local tax defaults in Republic of Korea using machine and deep learning algorithms, including convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq). Our model incorporates diverse credit and public information like loan history, delinquency records, credit card usage, and public taxation data, offering richer insights than prior studies. The results highlight the superior predictive accuracy of the CNN model. Anticipating local tax arrears more effectively could lead to efficient allocation of administrative resources. By leveraging advanced machine learning, this research offers a promising avenue for refining tax collection strategies and resource management.

Most notices on local tax are perceived to be confusing, often leading to a negative feeling towards user due to the complex content and excessive information included in the tax forms. Several local governments have redesigned their notice forms in order to resolve these issues. Therefore I conducted an in-depth analysis of user experiences in regards to the issues posed by the design of the tax notice form so as to offer a basic set of data that can be used to improve the user experience and increase their understanding of the tax form.
