Eunpyeong-gu Tracks High-Amount and Habitual Tax Delinquents... Operates Collection Team for High-Amount Delinquents Outside the District

Organized into 7 teams of 3 staff each from the Tax Administration Department, dispatched to 5 regions for on-site, pinpointed delinquency tracking and customized delinquency enforcement

Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that starting from the 8th, it will operate a ‘Collection Team for High-Amount Tax Delinquents Residing Outside the District’ to intensively track and collect overdue taxes from high-amount delinquents living outside the district.

The tracking targets include 550 high-amount delinquents residing outside the district, including corporations. Their total outstanding tax amounts to 4.5 billion KRW, accounting for 31% of Eunpyeong-gu’s total tax arrears.

Accordingly, Eunpyeong-gu has organized all employees of the Tax Administration Division into seven teams of three members each, and will conduct on-site visits in five regions: Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, and Gyeonggi. They will implement ‘field-focused pinpoint delinquency tracking’ and ‘customized delinquency disposition.’

Since early this year, the district has been intensively tracking high-amount delinquents outside the district and investigating their actual conditions to secure data on chronic delinquents. From the 8th, visits will be made to the addresses and business sites of delinquents to ▲ analyze causes of delinquency and encourage collection through on-site interviews regarding economic conditions and living situations ▲ conduct home searches of high-amount and habitual delinquents ▲ seize movable property ▲ and carry out collection efforts.

In particular, vehicles identified as “ghost cars” operating in the visited areas will be seized and auctioned, and seized deposits held by the jurisdictional courts of the visited areas will also be collected.

Additionally, for livelihood-related delinquents facing temporary financial difficulties, installment payments will be encouraged according to their circumstances. If a delinquent is found to be insolvent or uncollectible, the case will be put on hold (write-off disposition), providing tax support that guarantees the economic activities of the delinquent.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “We will strictly respond to high-amount and habitual delinquents and thoroughly manage overdue local taxes. Through this, we will realize fair taxation and continuously strive to strengthen a culture of sincere tax payment.”
