May is the Month for Filing Comprehensive Income Tax and Individual Local Income Tax
May 2025 is the filing period for the
comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax for the year 2024.
Individuals with comprehensive income must complete their filing and payment by Monday, June 2. However, those who are subject to honest declaration confirmation can extend their filing until Monday, June 30.
The National Tax Service provides various services to make it easier for taxpayers to file their returns. For this purpose, easy filing is now available through Hometax, Smart Tax, and the ARS phone number 1544-9944. These efforts will be of great help to taxpayers.
AllFill Notice, the Core of Easy Filing
The National Tax Service has sent the 'AllFill Notice' to 6.33 million taxpayers this year. This notice automatically includes the income amount, tax to be paid, and refund amounts, allowing taxpayers to easily complete their filing through Hometax, Smart Tax, or ARS.
There are 4.43 million eligible for a refund. These individuals can proceed with the refund process conveniently via the notice, and by clicking the 'Mobile Filing' or 'ARS Filing' button on their mobile devices, they will be directed to the relevant screen immediately.
Electronic Filing via Hometax and Smart Tax, a More Convenient Service
Throughout May, Hometax and Smart Tax will provide specialized screens for electronic filing. After logging in, users will be guided to a personalized screen based on their filing type. Filing is available daily from 6 AM to 1 AM the next day, and on the deadline of June 2, filings can be completed until midnight.
Payment methods include virtual account transfers, credit cards, and various simplified payment options, and installment payments are allowed for tax amounts exceeding 10 million won. This system provides convenience for taxpayers.
Target for Personal Deductions, Strengthening Confirmation to Prevent Additional Taxes
When taxpayers apply for personal deductions, guidance messages are automatically displayed if income requirements are exceeded, or in cases of deceased individuals or duplicate claimants.
This system prevents excessive refunds or additional taxes that could arise from incorrect deductions.
Expansion of Support for Automatic Extension of 3-Month Payment Deadline
Residents of special disaster areas, victims and families of the Jeju Air passenger plane accident, and small export businesses with decreased sales will have their payment deadlines for individual local income tax and comprehensive income tax automatically extended to September 1. However, it should be noted that filing must be completed before June 2.
Additionally, taxpayers facing business difficulties can apply for an extension through Hometax or Smart Tax, which can extend up to 9 months. These measures can provide substantial help to those facing economic hardships.
Filing and Payment of Individual Local Income Tax on WeTax
After completing the comprehensive income tax filing, individuals can easily proceed with their filing on WeTax (wetax.go.kr) by clicking the button to move to the local income tax filing. For those eligible for AllFill, payment can be made to the virtual account specified in the notice without any separate filing procedure, completing the filing.
Each local government will operate on-site filing windows throughout May to support offline filing. If the payment deadline approaches, notifications will be provided in advance through the National Secretary notification service. Additionally, if the tax amount exceeds 1 million won, there is an option for installment payment within 2 months.
Final Summary
May 2025 is an important month for the filing and payment of comprehensive income tax and individual local income tax, making it a critical time for taxpayers.
To facilitate this, convenient filing methods have been established, including the AllFill notice, electronic filing through Hometax and Smart Tax, and enhanced ARS easy filing services. Notably, extension systems are provided for taxpayers affected by natural disasters or economic difficulties, allowing for more flexible filing.
Taxpayers should utilize the notice and Hometax to complete their filing within the deadlines, and if they have any questions, they can seek assistance through ARS (1544-9944) or the local income tax call center (1661-6669).
