Suwon City Pushes Forward with 'Restricted Permitted Projects' for Delinquent Local Tax Payers

Suwon City's delinquent tax collection unit is implementing a strong policy to restrict permitted projects for local tax delinquents.

Based on Article 65 of the Local Tax Law, the city sent notices of restricted permitted projects to 382 operators who have failed to pay local taxes without justifiable cause on three or more occasions and have delinquent amounts of 1 million won or more.

The restricted permitted projects in this round include business categories such as direct sales, food service, telemarketing, and outdoor advertising, with a total of 5,954 delinquent cases and delinquent amounts totaling 2.4 billion won.

The delinquent tax collection unit will issue notices of restricted permitted projects through the end of this month, providing an opportunity for voluntary payment. If delinquent taxes are not paid within the deadline, the unit plans to request the relevant licensing authorities to suspend operations or revoke permits in early June.

However, for simple delinquents in difficulty with lump-sum payments who rely on self-employment income, if they pay part of the delinquent amount and make monthly installment payments, the city will defer tax delinquency measures and administrative sanctions during the payment period.

A city official stated, "Since we are implementing multifaceted and strong administrative measures, we urge taxpayers to pay their local tax delinquencies by the due date to avoid administrative disadvantages."
