Gwangmyeong City "Implementation of Special Collection Measures for Local Tax Delinquencies"

Introducing Various Techniques for Efficient Collection

Gwangmyeong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 12th that it will carry out focused settlement activities according to the special collection measures for local tax arrears in the first half of the year to minimize local tax delinquency.

The settlement period for the first half of the year is from March to May. The city plans to operate a voluntary payment period for one month in March, followed by two months of intensive collection activities in April and May. During the voluntary payment period, voluntary payments will be encouraged through prior preparations such as property inquiries of delinquents and promotional efforts.

During the intensive collection period, active delinquency disposition will be carried out using administrative sanctions. To this end, measures such as seizure of deposits and salaries, seizure of accounts receivable, and vehicle seizure will be implemented.

In particular, for high-amount and habitual delinquents, strong delinquency dispositions such as administrative sanctions including restriction of licensed businesses, travel bans, public disclosure of names, as well as public auctions of seized property and house searches will be conducted. Various collection techniques such as seizure of virtual assets and searches of construction machinery workplaces will also be introduced for efficient collection of delinquent amounts.

Yoo Yeonhong, head of the Taxation Division of Gwangmyeong City, said, "We will expand local finances by collecting delinquent amounts through strong delinquency dispositions against chronic delinquents. However, for livelihood-type delinquents, we will carry out customized collection activities such as encouraging installment payments or postponing settlements."
