Guri City Launches 'Kakao AlimTalk Immediate Payment' Service for Local Tax Arrears

Pilot Operation in January, Expansion from February
Enhancing Taxpayer Convenience with Mobile Delinquency Notices and Immediate Payment

Guri City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun) announced on the 17th that it plans to introduce the 'Kakao AlimTalk Immediate Payment' service within January, which sends local tax and non-tax revenue delinquency notices via mobile electronic notification instead of only by mail.

Guri City will implement the "Kakao AlimTalk Direct Payment" service starting this month, sending overdue local tax and non-tax revenue notices via mobile electronic notifications. Provided by Guri City

This month, the service will be piloted for some delinquents and expanded to all delinquents starting next month.

'Kakao AlimTalk Immediate Payment' is a service that notifies taxpayers of their local tax and non-tax revenue delinquency details and payment methods on their smartphone under their name, without needing to know the taxpayer's phone number, replacing paper notices with mobile notifications. After encrypted identity verification, users can check delinquency details and make immediate payments via bank transfer or simple payment methods, allowing citizens to pay taxes more conveniently.

Guri City expects that this service will improve the delivery rate of notices to overseas long-term residents and taxpayers whose registered address differs from their actual residence, thereby increasing delinquency collection rates and reducing costs compared to sending paper notices.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri City said, “Through the Kakao AlimTalk Immediate Payment service for local tax and non-tax revenue delinquencies, we will resolve issues such as delays in paper notice delivery, non-receipt, and loss of notices, strengthening a system that allows citizens to receive delinquency notifications more easily and pay taxes conveniently.”
