Hapcheon-gun Holds Meeting on Measures to Collect Local Tax Arrears

Discussion on Various Collection Measures for Local Tax Arrears

Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province held a meeting on local tax arrears collection measures in the conference room on the 3rd floor of the county office, attended by about 30 deputy eup/myeon heads and staff members.

At the meeting chaired by Deputy County Governor Lee Seon-gi on the 9th, various collection measures were discussed to efficiently operate the second half local tax arrears intensive collection period, which has been in effect since November, and to reduce the accumulated local tax arrears caused by economic recession and taxpayer negligence.

Hapcheon County is conducting a meeting on measures to collect overdue local tax revenues.

To clear arrears, the county is actively conducting collection activities such as analyzing arrears data, sending bulk reminder notices, and encouraging payment through phone calls and visits to induce voluntary payment. In addition, for high-amount and chronic defaulters, the county applies a zero-tolerance policy by implementing real estate and deposit seizures, as well as license plate confiscation for vehicles with unpaid automobile tax and fines, carrying out intensive collection activities.

In particular, in preparation for the regular automobile tax levy in December, the county plans to strengthen payment promotion during village chief meetings and various other meetings, send payment reminder text messages, and encourage overdue payers by phone to improve the collection rate within the payment deadline.

Deputy County Governor Lee said, “To achieve the targeted collection rate by the end of the year, the county and eup/myeon offices must unite closely and work together,” and urged, “Please concentrate all administrative efforts on collecting arrears.”
