Seven German federal lawmakers, including Christian Görke, acting chairman of the German federal parliament’s finance committee, visited South Korea’s National Tax Service for the first time to review HomeTax and the agency’s use of artificial intelligence. Commissioner Lim Kwang-hyun met the delegation at the Seoul Regional Tax Office on September 15, and the agency announced the meeting on September 16. Lim explained Korea’s digital tax-administration systems, the operation of HomeTax and the direction of the K-AI tax initiative, which applies AI to tax operations. The lawmakers expressed interest in the initiative’s use of AI technology. The meeting was the first high-level tax-affairs exchange between the two countries since the 2008 Korea-Germany National Tax Service commissioner meeting. Lim requested support for Korean companies operating in Germany, while the lawmakers pledged support and offered to facilitate exchanges between South Korea’s National Tax Service and Germany’s federal tax authority.
