Incheon City to Strengthen On-Site Collection for Delinquents Owing Over 3 Million Won... Home Searches and Vehicle Towing Enhanced

Incheon City is strengthening on-site collection activities targeting high-amount and chronic tax delinquents to secure insufficient fiscal resources and realize tax justice.

On August 28, the city announced that, starting this month and continuing through the end of the year, it will expand its on-site collection threshold from delinquents owing at least 5 million won to those owing at least 3 million won.

Additionally, the city will increase the number of on-site visits to the residences and workplaces of delinquents to closely assess their assets, and will reinforce various on-site measures such as home searches and the regular forced towing of vehicles.

Through these measures, the city aims to block the occurrence of delinquencies at an early stage, eliminate blind spots in tax collection, and prevent the accumulation of large tax arrears due to surcharges. Furthermore, by encouraging face-to-face reminders and implementing practical enforcement cases, the city plans to promote voluntary payments by delinquents and foster a culture of faithful tax payment.

As a result, the team has collected a total of 44 billion won in large delinquent taxes.
