Goheung-gun Offers 9.15% Discount for Annual Car Tax Payment in January

Get an Approximate 9.15% Annual Fee Discount When Paying in Full

Night Tax Consultation Office Also Open Ahead of Payment Deadline

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 14th that “applications for the annual automobile tax payment, which offers a 9.15% discount on the tax amount if the full year's automobile tax is prepaid in January, will be accepted until February 3.”

The annual automobile tax payment system allows taxpayers who pay the automobile tax, normally due in June and December, in advance in January to receive a 9.15% deduction on the annual tax amount excluding the January portion.

For vehicles with existing annual prepayment applications, tax bills will be sent without a separate application. However, taxpayers who wish to prepay annually, such as those who have newly acquired a vehicle, can apply by phone, visit the Finance Department, or use the Wetax system by February 3.

Additionally, to accommodate office workers who find it difficult to consult on tax matters during the day, the county plans to operate a night tax consultation office from 6 PM to 8 PM on three days: January 27, 28, and February 3, just before the payment deadline.

A county official said, “Last year, 8,700 vehicles applied for annual prepayment, resulting in a tax deduction benefit of 174 million KRW,” and added, “We urge taxpayers to actively utilize the annual tax payment system this year as well to maximize tax benefits.”
