HackersGongmuwon Launches 'Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials' in Line with 2022 Civil Service Exam Reform

Since the civil service exam was revamped in 2022, high school subjects have been abolished, and candidates must take mandatory subjects specific to each job category. Amid many civil service exam takers contemplating their job category choices, Hackers Public Officials, a civil service academy and online lecture provider, has attracted attention by newly launching the ‘Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials.’

Tax officials are recruited in large numbers every year through the same open competitive exam as general administrative officials, showing relatively lower competition rates and passing scores. Additionally, working as a tax official for a certain period exempts one from the tax accountant qualification exam, making career transitions after retirement from public service relatively easier.

To support examinees preparing for tax official positions with such advantages, Hackers Public Officials offers the ‘Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials.’ Hackers Public Officials recorded a 549% growth in the tax and customs official category within one year, gaining strong support from examinees preparing for tax and customs official exams.

The ‘Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials’ allows unlimited access to all lectures necessary for the 7th and 9th grade tax official exams for about 30,000 KRW per month (*based on 24 months) until passing. Available subjects include Korean, English, Korean History, Accounting, Tax Law, the three PSAT subjects, Constitutional Law, Economics, and Local Autonomy Theory.

Moreover, this pass refunds 100% of the tuition fee upon passing, providing motivation for examinees (*excluding taxes and fees, subject to refund conditions). Notably, by taking the ‘Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials,’ students can access unlimited specialized tax official lectures. Instructors Hyeon Jin-hwan and Jeong Yoon-don for Accounting, and Kim Young-seo and Lee Hoon-yeop for Tax Law offer optimized lectures to help achieve short-term success in the tax official exam.

Along with this, Hackers Public Officials provides various high-quality contents to aid passing. They offer nationwide mock exams for the 7th and 9th grade exams on September, as well as PSAT nationwide mock exams, and free special lectures by subject-specific expert instructors. Additionally, lectures for the Korean History Proficiency Test (HanNeungGeom), G-TELP, and TOEIC are provided (*limited to Lifetime 0 Won Pass purchasers) to support examinees’ success.

Detailed information about the ‘Lifetime 0 Won Pass for Tax Officials’ can be found on the Hackers Public Officials website. For reference, the 579% growth in the tax and customs official category within one year is based on a comparison of Hackers Public Officials’ tax and customs official pass sales revenue (October 2019 vs. October 2020).
