"870 Million KRW Over 3 Years"... Yongin City Publishes List of Habitual Tax Delinquents

A total of 191 people... Delinquent amount reaches 10.2 billion KRW
City: "Will take strong measures to collect until the end"

Mr. Lee from Suji-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, has not paid local income tax and other taxes amounting to 870 million KRW over the past three years since 2020. There are as many as 10 cases of unpaid taxes.

International Asset Trust has not paid 66 cases of local administrative sanctions and levies, including development charges, to Yongin-si. The amount overdue is 490 million KRW.

On the 15th, Yongin-si announced that it has disclosed the list of 191 individuals who have habitually defaulted on large amounts of local taxes or non-tax revenues on the city’s homepage and city bulletin. The disclosure targets are those who have overdue payments exceeding 10 million KRW and whose delinquency has lasted more than one year from the date of occurrence.

The newly disclosed high-amount habitual defaulters number 191, with a total overdue amount of 10.2 billion KRW. Among them, local tax defaulters include 104 individuals (5.1 billion KRW) and 75 corporations (3.1 billion KRW), while non-tax revenue defaulters include 8 individuals (500 million KRW) and 4 corporations (1.5 billion KRW).

The city explained that it provided a six-month period from March to allow payment and explanation of the overdue amounts, but those who did not pay taxes or local administrative sanctions and levies without special reasons or failed to provide explanations had their names disclosed after review by the Gyeonggi-do Local Tax Deliberation Committee. The disclosed information includes the defaulter’s name (corporate name), age, address, type of overdue tax, and amount overdue.

Separately from this disclosure, the city plans to collect overdue amounts through strong measures such as home searches and license plate seizures.

A city official said, "We will relentlessly pursue and collect from high-amount habitual defaulters who maliciously evade tax payments to foster a sound taxpaying culture and realize tax justice."
