Gwangjin-gu Imposes 6.037 Billion KRW in 2021 Second Half Automobile Tax... Payment Available via Internet, Smartphone, and More Until December 31

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has imposed approximately 6.037 billion KRW in automobile tax and will operate the payment period for the second half of 2021 automobile tax from the 16th to the 31st.

The second half automobile tax imposed this time is the tax for the ownership period from July 1 to December 31 of this year. The payment deadline is from December 16 to December 31, and a 3% surcharge will be added if the payment deadline is missed.

If the annual automobile tax has been prepaid or if the annual tax amount was 100,000 KRW or less and was collectively imposed in June, it is excluded from this payment target. If the automobile was newly registered or transferred during the second half of the year, a prorated amount based on the ownership period will be imposed.

Automobile tax can be paid at all financial institutions nationwide. Without visiting the bank directly, payment can be made through ▲Seoul ETAX system ▲Seoul STAX app ▲PAYCO app ▲KakaoPay ▲taxpayer account transfer via a dedicated account, etc. Taxpayers who have difficulty using the internet or smartphones can use the ARS phone service.

Also, for the convenience of disabled taxpayers, an unmanned payment machine that allows the screen to be adjusted vertically to suit the user's eye level for easy payment is installed in front of the tax civil service office.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Automobile tax is a valuable resource used for regional development and the welfare enhancement of residents,” and urged, “Since payment is possible through various methods, please pay within the deadline to avoid surcharges.”
