Yongin City Collects 26 Million Won Through Home Searches of Delinquents

Seized Items Secured Through Debtor's Home Search

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province conducted home searches over two days from the 19th to the 20th targeting 13 high-value tax delinquents who evaded tax payments, seizing luxury bags and other movable properties.

On the 22nd, Yongin City announced that a task force of 12 tax officials confiscated 7 million KRW in cash and nine luxury bags, successfully collecting 26 million KRW in delinquent taxes on-site.

Among the identified delinquents, Mr. A, who owed 11 million KRW in local taxes, was residing in a house owned by his spouse rather than his registered address. The task force visited Mr. A’s residence, informed him about the towing of his seized vehicle, and ultimately Mr. A paid the full amount of his delinquent taxes on-site.

Yongin City also identified the actual residences of long-term tax evaders and conducted intensive investigations and tracking to collect the outstanding amounts.

Additionally, for livelihood-type delinquents facing economic difficulties discovered during on-site investigations, the city offered opportunities for recovery through installment payments or deferred tax disposition and connected them with relevant departments to receive welfare service support.

A Yongin City official emphasized, "We will carry out intensive collection activities against habitual delinquents who evade taxes despite having the ability to pay, to realize tax justice."

This year, Yongin City conducted home searches on 45 habitual delinquents, seizing nine items including precious metals and luxury goods, and collected 130 million KRW on-site.
