[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province on the 17th publicly disclosed 258 new high-amount and habitual delinquent taxpayers who owe more than 10 million won in local taxes and local administrative penalties and surcharges.

The total amount of arrears disclosed by the province is 11.26 billion won. Among them, individual local tax delinquents number 178, owing 7.3 billion won, and corporations include 50 companies owing 3.3 billion won.

For local administrative penalties and surcharges, 24 individuals owe 500 million won, and 6 corporations owe 160 million won, respectively.

Among individual delinquents, the largest amount owed is 930.77 million won, and among corporations, a construction company owes 418.66 million won in local taxes.

The list of disclosed delinquents can be checked on the Gangwon Province and Ministry of the Interior and Safety websites, as well as on Wetax (local tax payment site).

Earlier, to select the subjects, the province conducted the first review by the Gangwon Province Local Tax Deliberation Committee in February, encouraging payment and providing a six-month opportunity for explanation. Then, through the second review last month, the final list of disclosed delinquents was confirmed.

The high-amount and habitual delinquent taxpayer disclosure system has been introduced and implemented since 2006 for local taxes and since 2018 for local administrative penalties and surcharges to establish a mature taxpaying culture.

Goh Geum-seo, head of the provincial tax administration division, said, "For delinquents who intentionally conceal assets or evade taxes, we will do our best to collect arrears through various delinquency measures such as investigating concealed assets, travel bans, property seizure, and public auctions, in addition to disclosing their names."
