Uijeongbu City, Claim Your Dormant Local Tax Refunds

Uijeongbu City 'Local Tax Unclaimed Refunds Intensive Collection Period' Notice.

Uijeongbu City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) announced on the 4th that it will operate a "Local Tax Unclaimed Refund Intensive Period" until the end of November to return local tax refunds that taxpayers have not claimed.

Local tax refunds occur frequently every year due to reasons such as double payment, erroneous reporting, ownership transfer after annual automobile tax prepayment, vehicle scrapping cancellation, and local income tax national tax adjustment. As of the end of October, Uijeongbu City's refunds amounted to 18,232 cases totaling 578 million KRW.

The city plans to send notifications to taxpayers whose refund claim periods are about to expire in November. Various promotional activities will be carried out both online and offline, including ▲sending refund alert text messages ▲intelligent pillars (smart poles) ▲city hall electronic display boards. Unclaimed refund inquiries and refund applications can also be directly checked and applied for through Wetax or the automated response system.

Choi San-ho, Head of the Taxation Division, said, "If local tax refunds are not claimed within five years, the right to claim the refund expires, so we ask taxpayers to actively exercise their right to receive refunds." He added, "We will continue to make efforts to protect taxpayers' rights by actively returning unclaimed local tax refunds to taxpayers."
