Korea has a problem that its taxation resources are concentrated on the central government and regional local governments, which has resulted in various problems in the tax distribution structure.
In order to solve this problem, improvements were proposed in this study; A plan to jointly taxation of local income tax, increase the local consumption tax rate, create a win-win consultation process between central and regional governments, and improvement plan of region adjustment grant.
In order to fit the balanced development with the decentralization, the financial independence of the province should be raised and the win-win relationship between the central and local governments should be established. And it is not just to expand local finance, but also to actively try to solve financial imbalances in each province.
