Gochang-gun Announces End of Public Utility Fee Support for Small Business Owners on the 31st: "Hurry Up"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 16th that the application period for the ‘Small Business Public Utility Charges’ support, which is being provided to overcome the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, will end on the 31st.

Earlier, the county has been supporting small business owners who are struggling with management due to the spread of COVID-19 by providing 600,000 KRW in total, 200,000 KRW per month for January to March public utility charges such as electricity, water, and gas.

The support targets are businesses registered and maintained in Gochang-gun, with annual sales of 200 million KRW or less in 2019, and workplaces with fewer than 5 regular employees (fewer than 10 for manufacturing, mining, construction, and transportation industries).

Businesses involved in gambling, game rooms, and other speculative industries, as well as entertainment bars excluded from small business policy fund loans, and mail-order businesses without physical workplaces are not eligible for support.

To apply, applicants must prepare necessary documents such as business registration certificate, 2019 value-added tax taxable standard certificate, and a copy of their bankbook, and visit the Win-Win Economy Division of the county office or the local town/myeon office where the business is located.

A Gochang-gun official said, “We plan to promote this until the end so that more small business owners can benefit, and we ask that applications be submitted within the deadline.”
