Pyeongtak City Steps Up Enforcement of Non-Tax Revenue Delinquent Accounts

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtak City announced on the 6th that it will conduct intensive collection activities while operating a joint settlement period for second-half non-tax revenue delinquent accounts through the end of December.

The city held a reporting meeting on non-tax revenue collection measures in a video conference room on the 5th, analyzing overall delinquent account settlements for non-tax revenue this year and exploring settlement plans for delinquent accounts by department, thereby establishing measures to increase the non-tax revenue collection rate.

The meeting proceeded with reports on departmental non-tax revenue delinquent settlement targets and key promotion measures from 12 departments. To minimize non-tax revenue delinquent accounts, causal analysis of delinquent amounts, exploration of solutions to problems, and efficient collection rate improvement measures were presented.

The city plans to accept installment payment applications from delinquent taxpayers unable to pay due to unfavorable economic conditions, thereby reducing the burden of lump-sum payments. However, habitual and chronic delinquent taxpayers who intentionally delay or evade payment will be dealt with strictly through seizure of real estate and vehicles.

Vice Mayor Lee Jong-ho stated, "Non-tax revenue, along with local taxes, is an important source of income for local governments, and as new delinquent amounts are carried forward each year, it is negatively impacting finances," and urged, "Accumulated delinquent accounts create many management difficulties. Please do your best to ensure that assessed non-tax revenue can be collected this year."
