Seongnam City Collects 54.5 Billion KRW in Delinquent Payments This Year... Implements Customized Collection Activities

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is carrying out customized collection activities by type of delinquency with the goal of clearing 54.5 billion KRW in local tax and non-tax arrears this year to secure stable local tax revenue.

To achieve this year's clearance target, Seongnam City will conduct differentiated collection activities tailored to each type of delinquent taxpayer based on the results of big data analysis on arrears supported by the next-generation local tax revenue information system.

For about 5,000 high-amount and habitual delinquent taxpayers who owe more than 2 million KRW in local taxes (arrears totaling 56.7 billion KRW), administrative sanctions such as public disclosure of names, travel bans, credit information provision, and restrictions on licensed businesses will be strengthened, and a specialized tax source management team will take strong measures including seizure of movable property, detention, and home searches.

On the other hand, for livelihood-type delinquent taxpayers, flexible collection policies such as postponing delinquency disposition and encouraging installment payments will be promoted, and active support will be provided for the economic recovery of delinquent taxpayers and linkage with the city’s welfare policies.

Last year, despite difficult economic collection conditions due to high inflation and high interest rates, Seongnam City achieved results by clearing 29 billion KRW in local taxes and 11.9 billion KRW in non-tax revenue.

Seongnam City operated a field collection task force for high-amount delinquent taxpayers and collected 8.3 billion KRW, followed by 44,000 delinquency dispositions including seizure of financial assets, claims, real estate, and automobiles, collecting 21.7 billion KRW.
