Don't Miss the 10% Discount Opportunity for Early Payment of Car Tax

Payment at the end of June and December, 10% discount if paid in advance by January 31

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 8th that "If you pay the automobile tax, which is usually divided into two payments due at the end of June and December, in advance by January 31, you can receive a 10% discount."

The district will send tax bills in mid-January to vehicle owners who have already applied for advance payment without requiring a separate application.

Residents who wish to apply for advance payment for the first time can call the Tax Division 2 of the district office at 330-1351.

Also, even if you do not receive a tax bill, you can report and pay by selecting the relevant menu on the Seoul City Internet Tax Payment System (http://etax.seoul.go.kr).

If you scrap or transfer your vehicle after advance payment, you can get a refund for the remaining period of the automobile tax, and the tax will not be recharged even if you move to a new address.

If you receive an advance payment tax bill but do not pay it, you can pay using the regular automobile tax bills sent in June and December without a separate additional application. However, in this case, you will not receive the 10% discount benefit.

If you lose or damage your tax bill, you can get it reissued at the nearest community service center or the Tax Division 2 of the district office.

Advance payment of automobile tax can also be applied for and paid in March, June, and September, with discounts of 7.5% for the full year in March, 10% for the second half of the year in June, and 5% for the second half of the year in September.

Seodaemun-gu announced that the 2020 regular registration license tax (license portion) will be imposed on license holders subject to taxation as of January 1. The tax is classified by license type, ranging from 18,000 KRW (5 types) to 67,500 KRW (1 type).

Payments can be made from the 16th to the 31st of this month through financial institutions, ATMs, the Seoul City Internet Tax Payment System, or the dedicated ARS phone (1599-3900). A 3% surcharge will be added if the payment deadline is missed.

Due to the deletion of the "exclusion regulation on license tax for simplified telemarketing businesses" in the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act, the expected number of 2020 registration license tax impositions in Seodaemun-gu is expected to increase to about 33,900 cases from about 31,000 cases last year.
