Recruitment of 1,858 Tax Delinquency Management Officials...Full Survey Including Delinquents with Different Residential and Tax Registration AddressesDistinction Between High-Amount and Habitual Delinquents and Livelihood-Type Delinquents; Customized Collection to Realize Tax Justice
[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 20th that it will conduct a survey on 1 million tax delinquents according to the '2020 Local Tax Delinquency Settlement Promotion Plan' to realize fair value.
The survey for tax delinquency settlement is a second-stage project following last year, for which the province newly recruited 1,858 tax delinquency management officials.
Career-interrupted women and job seekers mainly applied for the recruitment of these tax delinquency management officials, recording an average competition rate of 2.83 to 1.
In particular, the province will sign collaborative agreements for tax delinquency surveys among 31 cities and counties within the province this year, and plans to begin surveys on 670,000 out-of-province delinquents with different residential and tax registration addresses starting in March.
The processing of survey results will be handled in a customized manner according to the nature of the delinquency.
For habitual delinquents, strong administrative penalties such as restrictions on licensed businesses, requests for exit bans, and public disclosure will be enforced. The province will operate a special collection team jointly with cities and counties to collect delinquent taxes by various collection methods including seizure and public sale of real estate and vehicles, seizure of deposits, insurance, and wages, and license plate confiscation.
For livelihood-type delinquents, the province will assist in prompt bad debt disposal. The province will conduct a comprehensive review of bad debt disposal targets at the 'Gyeonggi Province Local Tax Deliberation Committee' and notify cities and counties to enable prompt bad debt disposal. This is to improve the efficiency of delinquent tax management and alleviate the pressure on livelihood-type delinquents regarding their delinquent taxes, thereby supporting their participation as members of society.
Lee Ui-hwan, director of the Tax Justice Division, said, "We will raise awareness among tax delinquents to prevent unfair situations where faithful taxpayers are harmed, and encourage the public's faithful tax payment."
