Songpa-gu Provides 'Local Tax Electronic Notification Service'

Up to 1,000 Won Mileage and Tax Deduction Benefits for Payment and Automatic Transfer

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) announced on the 19th that it is providing the ‘Local Tax Electronic Notification Service’ for the convenience of residents in paying taxes.

The ‘Local Tax Electronic Notification’ service allows taxpayers to check their tax amounts via email or smartphone instead of paper notices, make payments, and receive mileage and tax deduction benefits.

This service aims to improve the inconvenience caused when taxpayers do not receive paper notices sent by registered mail or postal service on time, resulting in missed payment deadlines or lost notices.

Additionally, it reduces costs associated with issuing paper notices and unnecessary paper production.

The regular local taxes available through the electronic notification service include license tax (January), automobile tax (January and June), property tax (July and September), and resident tax (August).

From checking the notice to payment, users can conveniently pay via automatic transfer, ARS (☎1599-3900), internet banking, Seoul local tax payment system (ETAX), or Seoul tax payment smartphone app (STAX) without visiting a bank.

When paying taxes through the electronic notification service, users receive ▲ mileage accumulation of 850 KRW for tax amounts of 300,000 KRW or more (350 KRW for less than 300,000 KRW) ▲ and a 150 KRW tax deduction.

If automatic transfer is applied together, a mileage accumulation of 500 KRW and a tax deduction of 500 KRW are provided regardless of the tax amount.

Accumulated mileage can be used to deduct payable taxes or for various purposes such as donations to help neighbors in need or transportation card recharges.

Applications for the ‘Local Tax Electronic Notification Service’ can be made by accessing the ETAX website or the STAX app and selecting ‘My ETAX.’

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “We are implementing the ‘Local Tax Electronic Notification Service’ so that residents can conveniently check and pay their taxes,” and added, “We will continue to expand and develop various tax services to enhance residents’ convenience in tax payment and provide more trustworthy tax administration.”
