Jeongeup-si Imposes 39,001 Cases of Regular Automobile Tax

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 14th that it has imposed 4.267 billion KRW in regular (first installment) automobile tax on 39,001 cases this year.

This regular automobile tax was imposed on owners of automobiles, two-wheelers, and construction machinery (dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks) registered in Jeongeup City as of the tax base date (June 1).

The imposed amount decreased by about 33 million KRW (0.8%) compared to 4.3 billion KRW for the regular installment in June last year. This decrease is analyzed to be due to an increase of 190 million KRW (1,033 vehicles) in advance annual payments compared to last year.

The payment period is from the 16th to the 30th of this month. Payments can be made by visiting any financial institution or post office nationwide with the tax bill, or by using an ATM/CD machine to pay via bankbook or credit card.

Additionally, various electronic payment services such as virtual accounts (internet banking) listed on the tax bill, the Smart Wetax mobile app, Wetax, and internet Giro payment can be used for payment.

In particular, the 'Local Tax Revenue Account Payment Service' introduced in 2020 allows automobile tax payments via account transfer without transfer fees at 21 financial institutions.

This service uses the electronic payment number listed on the tax bill as the deposit account number for account transfers.

It has the advantage of allowing payments without transfer fees that were previously incurred when paying from other bank accounts or outside business hours.

Taxpayers can select 'Local Tax Revenue' as the deposit bank in the account transfer menu when using internet or mobile banking, or ATM/CD machines, then enter the 'Local Tax Revenue Account (Electronic Payment Number)' listed on the tax bill to make the payment.

A city official said, “If the automobile tax payment deadline on the 30th passes, penalties such as additional charges may be imposed,” and added, “Since congestion at financial institutions and internet connection delays are expected on the payment deadline, please make payments as early as possible.”

For more details, contact the Taxation Division's Imposition Team at City Hall, or the local tax officers at the Eup/Myeon offices or Dong Community Centers.
