A delinquent local tax collection task force will be formed with the Tax Affairs Division Director as its head, implementing an individual collection responsibility system for all tax affairs staff and operating a dedicated collection team for delinquent accounts of 5 million won or more.

The office will also conduct nationwide property investigations for delinquent taxpayers and implement ▲early attachment measures for all confirmed properties including real estate ▲public auction processing after analyzing the benefits of public auctions for long-term delinquent taxpayers ▲attachment of financial assets and sales receivables, registration in public records information, and restrictions on public project participation, along with other delinquent tax processing and administrative sanctions.

For small business operators and low-income delinquent taxpayers, the office will conduct sympathetic taxation measures including ▲encouragement of installment payments ▲suspension of collection measures ▲referral to welfare-related departments.
