Jeongeup-si, Full Effort to Collect Overdue Non-Tax Revenue

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk is making every effort to collect overdue non-tax revenue, including operating a period for comprehensive clearance of overdue non-tax revenue in the first half of the year until the 3rd of next month.

According to the city on the 13th, the total overdue amount of local non-tax revenue was 6.694 billion KRW (general account) as of the end of April this year, and the city set a collection target of over 20%.

To clear the overdue amounts, the city plans to analyze and organize overdue non-tax revenue data and send overdue notices mainly through the non-tax revenue collection team and the traffic fine management team to encourage payment.

If payment is not made, the city intends to impose restrictions on licensed businesses and proceed with seizure of real estate, vehicles, salaries, deposits, and bonds.

In addition, for seized real estate and vehicles, the city will analyze practical benefits and, after announcing a public auction, request the auction through the Korea Asset Management Corporation.

In particular, for vehicles with overdue traffic fines related to automobiles, which account for more than 45% of the overdue non-tax revenue from violations of order, a mobile collection team will be organized and operated.

The mobile team plans to confiscate license plates for vehicles with overdue amounts of 300,000 KRW or more.

A city official said, “Although it is a difficult time due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we plan to carry out strong collection activities to foster a culture of law-abiding and improve the city’s financial condition,” adding, “We will continue to strive to establish a sound taxpaying consciousness.”
