[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Jeonnam Muan-gun (Governor Kim San) announced on the 25th that it will conduct nighttime license plate seizure activities to reduce overdue local taxes until the 27th.

Last year, the county settled 1.18 billion won of overdue taxes out of the 3.078 billion won carried over, and plans to strictly crack down on vehicles of high-amount habitual tax delinquents and ghost vehicles related to local income tax, property tax, automobile tax, acquisition tax, etc., which have a high proportion of overdue tax items.

In addition, in the first half of this year, 199 vehicles were issued seizure warning notices to induce voluntary payment, and license plate seizures were carried out on 52 vehicles, collecting 28 million won.

A county official said, “Nighttime seizure activities are being conducted mainly in vehicle-dense areas such as apartments and parking lots, and we plan to track and seize virtual currencies held by high-amount habitual tax delinquents. We hope a sound tax-paying culture will be established where local taxes such as the June automobile tax regular installment are voluntarily paid.”

Meanwhile, Muan-gun was selected as an excellent city/county for local tax collection in 2020 and received a special adjustment grant of 58 million won.
