Yangcheon-gu, 2021 Traffic Inducement Charge Target Facility Survey

On-site Inspections Conducted for 828 Facilities Subject to Charges from July 2 to 31

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) will conduct a full survey of facilities subject to the 2021 Traffic Inducement Charge from July 2 to 31.

The Traffic Inducement Charge is imposed once a year on facilities that cause traffic congestion to alleviate traffic jams. Facilities subject to the charge are those with a total floor area of 1,000㎡ or more, and where the privately owned share area is 160㎡ or more.

The charge period for the 2021 Traffic Inducement Charge is from August 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021. If the facility was not used for more than 30 days due to special reasons such as closure caused by COVID-19, a non-use report must be submitted to receive a reduction.

The reporting period is from August 1 to September 16 (first reporting period) and within 10 days from the receipt of the bill (second reporting period). The non-use report and supporting documents must be submitted in writing to qualify for the reduction.

This year, Yangcheon-gu has 828 facilities subject to the Traffic Inducement Charge. For 2,195 cases by owners, nine investigators will visit the sites directly to check the usage period and actual use, whether the facility was unused or vacant for more than 30 days, the purpose of newly built or extended facilities, and whether the facilities have been demolished.

The district recorded a high collection rate of 99.1%, collecting 12.91271 billion KRW from 6,057 cases out of a total of 6,730 Traffic Inducement Charges imposed from 2018 to last year through thorough field investigations.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, requested, “Since this full survey will be used as data for imposing the Traffic Inducement Charge in October, we ask for active cooperation from facility owners to ensure accurate investigation.”
