Uijeongbu City Imposes 1st Quarter 2017 Environmental Improvement Charge

The assessment period for this environmental improvement charge covers July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, and is imposed only on diesel vehicles, which are a major source of environmental pollutants.

The payment period is from March 16 to March 31. Payment can be made at CD/ATM machines at all banks nationwide using a cash card (bankbook) or credit card, or through the internet via WesTax (www.wetax.go.kr) or Giro (www.giro.or.kr), as well as through a dedicated virtual account for payer deposits.

Multiple payment methods allow for convenient payment.

The city is posting banners in high-traffic areas and distributing payment guidance notices to actively promote payment within the deadline.

Uijeongbu City plans to conduct continuous promotions throughout March to ensure taxpayers make payments by the deadline. For any inquiries, contact the Uijeongbu City Green Environment Division (031-828-2805~6).
