[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cha Jongseon] Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 16th that it is accepting applications for small business owners' card fee support until March 11.

Since 2020, Gokseong-gun has been supporting card fees to alleviate the burden of card fees on small business owners and stabilize management.

The scope of small business owners eligible for support includes those in retail and various service industries with fewer than 5 regular employees.

In addition, for mining, manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries, companies with fewer than 10 regular employees can receive support. However, the 2020 sales must not exceed 300 million KRW, and there must be no outstanding local taxes or non-tax revenues.

Eligible applicants can receive support amounting to 0.8% of their 2020 card sales, up to a maximum of 500,000 KRW.

If operating multiple business sites, applications can be made for each site, but industries restricted by the Regional Credit Guarantee Foundation Act, such as gambling and adult goods stores, are excluded from support.

A county official stated, "After reviewing the documents, if confirmed as a payment recipient, the support funds will be deposited into the account applied for in the month following the application."
