Gochang-gun Supports Small Business Owners' Card Fees... Up to 500,000 Won

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun announced on the 11th that it will accept applications for the ‘Small Business Card Fee Support Project’ until December 16 to reduce the management burden on small business owners struggling due to the economic downturn.

The support target for the ‘Card Fee Support Project’ is businesses with annual sales of 300 million KRW or less last year, and they can receive up to 500,000 KRW (0.8% of the 2021 card sales amount).

Industries such as wholesale and retail, food, lodging, and services are eligible to apply, and if one person owns multiple businesses, support can be received for up to two businesses.

However, entertainment establishments, gambling, and other industries restricted by the Credit Guarantee Foundation’s re-guarantee are excluded.

The required documents for application are a copy of the business registration certificate and a copy of the bankbook.

The county office has facilitated convenience for small business owners by collectively verifying materials that can prove the total sales and card sales of the previous year through the National Tax Service.

Small business owners who wish to apply can visit the town or township office where their business is located to apply.

After receiving the application documents, the county plans to review eligibility and sales amount and sequentially provide support within the budget starting from July.

A county official said, “We hope this will be of some help to small business owners who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation,” and added, “We will do our best in promotion and operation to ensure that all eligible small business owners can receive support.”
