Ulju-gun, Special Initiative to Settle Foreigners' Overdue Payments
Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, will launch a "Special Collection Campaign for Foreigners with Delinquent Non-Tax Revenue" starting from the 17th to increase the collection rate of delinquent non-tax revenue from foreigners.
Currently, there are 293 foreigners delinquent on non-tax revenue in Ulju-gun, with a total outstanding amount of 351 million KRW.
The majority of foreign delinquent taxpayers have faced difficulties in payment due to a lack of Korean language proficiency, and it has been difficult to secure claims as they have no assets other than vehicles.
Accordingly, Ulju-gun announced that it will send "Foreign Language Delinquency Notices" to improve payment convenience for foreigners and will seize foreign worker-specific insurance policies such as repatriation expense insurance and departure maturity insurance to collect delinquent payments from chronic delinquents.
For foreigners experiencing financial hardship, the county plans to implement customized delinquency measures such as encouraging installment payments or deferring delinquency actions.
