SEOUL, June 18 (Yonhap) -- The head of South Korea's tax agency said Tuesday that it will be considerably difficult for the government to achieve its target of tax collection for this year due to the economic slowdown.
The 2013 tax revenue target by the National Tax Service (NTS) is set at 199 trillion won (US$175.8 billion), but as of end-April, the collection amounted to 70.5 trillion won or 35.4 percent of the target, it said.
