[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 15th that it will simultaneously send the first installment automobile tax bills of this year to taxpayers for 1.8 million registered vehicles.


Automobile tax is imposed twice a year in June and December on the owners as of the tax base date, and the first installment automobile tax imposed this time amounts to 203.3 billion KRW.


The payment notices will be delivered to the registered addresses starting from the 14th, and the payment deadline is the 30th. If the payment deadline is missed, an additional 3% surcharge must be paid.


By using ‘Tax Consultation AI Chatbot IZY,’ developed and operated for the first time nationwide by Seoul City, automobile tax inquiry and payment are possible 24 hours a day non-face-to-face. Using the Tax Consultation AI Chatbot IZY allows easy and fast automobile tax inquiry and payment.


The automobile tax bills received this time can be paid conveniently through Seoul City ETAX (etax.seoul.go.kr), Seoul City STAX (Seoul City Tax Payment App), simple payment service apps, as well as via the QR barcode on the paper bill, dedicated accounts, bank ATMs, or unmanned payment machines.


Meanwhile, Seoul City is actively encouraging electronic billing applications (non-face-to-face electronic delivery) to prevent the spread of COVID-19.



Lee Byung-han, Director of the Seoul City Finance Bureau, urged, "After the automobile tax payment deadline, a 3% surcharge and disadvantages such as vehicle seizure may occur, so please be sure to pay by the deadline." He added, "In line with the non-face-to-face era, using various non-face-to-face services provided by Seoul City, such as the Tax Consultation Chatbot IZY, enables safer and more convenient payments, so we hope many people will use them."
