Gochang-gun to Conduct Comprehensive Collection of Local Taxes and Non-Tax Revenues Arrears by Next Month

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Kim Jae-gil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk Province, will intensively organize overdue local taxes and non-tax revenues for the second half of 2022 until the 30th of next month.

According to the county on the 31st, as of the end of September, the total overdue amount is 4.133 billion KRW (1.985 billion KRW in local taxes, 2.148 billion KRW in non-tax revenues), with a collection target of 1.329 billion KRW (900 million KRW in local taxes, 429 million KRW in non-tax revenues) set for the second half of the year.

Accordingly, the county plans to minimize carryover overdue amounts by forming a special collection team for local taxes and non-tax revenues and operating a dedicated collection team.

Through analysis of overdue taxpayers, the county will assist economic recovery for livelihood-type overdue taxpayers by allowing installment payments and deferring overdue dispositions.

On the other hand, for high-amount and habitual overdue taxpayers, customized collection activities will be carried out through strong administrative sanctions such as seizure of real estate and bonds, public auctions, and disclosure of names.

Ki Ho-min, Director of the Finance Department, said, “We thank the sincere taxpayers who pay their taxes faithfully despite the difficult economic situation,” and added, “We will strive to secure the soundness of Gochang-gun’s finances and realize tax justice through strong overdue dispositions against malicious habitual overdue taxpayers.”
