다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

According to the Framework Act on Local Taxes, a tax audit refers to an activity that asks questions, inspects and investigates the relevant books, documents, or other objects, or orders the submission of them for the purpose of imposition and collection of local taxes. A tax audit is meaningful in creating a sound tax environment and ultimately realizing tax justice through fair and grounded taxation.
Local taxes are an important financial resource for local governments and are closely related to securing independent finances in realizing local autonomy. Local governments secure local finances by discovering tax sources through their own tax audit. However, as a basic right, the exercise of the tax audit right may infringe the freedom of business and property rights. In that respect, it needs to be done within the scope that does not infringe on the rights and interests of taxpayers. While many studies so far have focused on strengthening the tax audit system to secure local finance, this article compares and reviews the tax audit system for national and local taxes in terms of protecting the rights and interests of taxpayers, and the tax audit system for local taxes. It is meaningful to find a direction to move forward.
In terms of local taxes, the tax audit system actually follows the tax audit system for national taxes. In order to examine this in detail, the concept of tax officials and tax audits, the establishment and issuance of the Charter of Taxpayer Rights, the duty of cooperation of taxpayers, the prohibition of abuse of tax audit rights, the selection of jurisdictions and subjects for tax audits, restrictions on the extension of the scope of tax audits, books, etc. The tax investigation system of national and local taxes was compared in relation to the prohibition of storage of.
Although local tax differs from national tax in its method of levying, subject of tax, and characteristics of tax items, it is not appropriate to conduct a tax audit in a manner similar to national tax. It is necessary to develop a tax investigation technique unique to local governments. Ultimately, it can be said that it starts with the selection of a tax audit target through an appropriate and unique method only for local taxes. And it is necessary to activate the taxpayer protection officer system. It seems that the protection of the rights and interests of taxpayers at the level guaranteed by the Framework Act on National Taxes should be achieved.
Lastly, local governments and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security need to have a will to conduct tax audits while guaranteeing the rights and interests of taxpayers.
