Osan City All-In on Settling Delinquent Taxes

Osan City will operate an all-staff collection responsibility system throughout November.

By setting and managing collection targets for each of the 29 departments, the city will analyze the causes of delinquent taxes in the region and encourage active payment to settle carryover delinquencies.

In addition, the city will encourage voluntary payment of delinquent taxes through sending guidance documents and delinquent tax notices, providing real-time payment guidance using the lifetime account payment system, and sending SMS text messages.

In particular, the city will conduct intensive day and night crackdowns on delinquent vehicles by utilizing an impoundment system for delinquent vehicles.

For high-amount delinquents, the city will identify hidden assets and proceed with seizures and public sales.

Meanwhile, last month the city seized deposits and credit card sales receivables for delinquents with arrears of 300,000 won or more, imposed restrictions on permitted business operations, and impounded license plates of vehicles with unpaid automobile taxes. For high-amount delinquents of 1 million won or more, the city encouraged on-site collection visits and settled 3.195 billion won in carryover delinquencies as of October.
