Gwangju City announced on the 22nd that it is accepting applications for electronic delivery of local tax bills to enhance taxpayer convenience and promote carbon neutrality.


The electronic delivery of local tax bills is a service that allows taxpayers to easily check and pay their tax bills via email or mobile apps instead of paper notices. This eliminates concerns about lost mail or missing notices due to address changes, and by reducing paper bills, it helps lower administrative costs and resource usage, contributing to carbon neutrality.


Taxpayers can apply for the electronic delivery service through Wetax or various simple payment apps (KakaoPay, Naver, Toss, Payco), as well as card company and bank apps. The service takes effect starting the month after application.


The service applies to regular local taxes such as resident tax (individual), property tax, automobile tax, and license registration tax (license). If you apply for electronic delivery, you will receive a 500 KRW discount per bill, and if you also apply for automatic payment, you can receive a tax deduction of 1,000 KRW.


Kim Daejeong, head of the Taxation Division, said, "Electronic delivery is a convenient service that helps taxpayers pay local taxes within the deadline," and added, "We ask for the interest and participation of many citizens."
