Seoul Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced on the 14th that it successfully collected 950 million KRW of overdue taxes that had been outstanding for 28 years through prompt seizure and collection of deposit funds.

The high-amount delinquent taxpayer is a "malicious delinquent corporation" that failed to pay the comprehensive land tax 28 years ago and was liquidated and closed. Although real estate and other assets had been seized, collection was uncertain due to excessive creditors. However, during continuous management, the existence of deposit funds for repayment was discovered, and 950 million KRW was collected immediately through seizure and collection.

In the case of deposit funds for repayment, they can be confirmed on the court's electronic deposit website after creditor seizure and collected through the collection process. Since payment is made on a first-come, first-served basis according to seizure order, Eunpyeong-gu was able to collect the amount due to its prompt response.

Eunpyeong-gu announced plans to actively carry out overdue tax collection activities this year, including ▲seizure and collection of claims such as real estate, automobiles, credit card sales receivables, and various refunds ▲public disclosure of high-amount and habitual delinquent taxpayers and travel bans ▲restrictions and credit information registration limitations.

In particular, focusing on the thorough crackdown on high-amount delinquent taxpayers residing outside the district, strong measures such as ▲home searches of delinquent taxpayers ▲seizure of license plates of delinquent vehicles ▲forced towing will be implemented to collect high-amount overdue taxes.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, emphasized, “We will thoroughly investigate the assets of delinquent taxpayers and diligently pursue even long-standing overdue taxes without neglect to ensure collection. This will help supplement the insufficient finances and do our best to prevent diligent taxpayers from suffering any disadvantages.”
