[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon's Gwonseon-gu announced on the 7th that it is conducting a monthly initiative to "locate unclaimed local tax refunds" as part of customer-focused administration.
The district is sending refund notification letters by mail to eligible recipients. As of the 6th, the total unclaimed local tax refunds not retrieved by taxpayers amount to 1,969 cases totaling 54 million won. Small refunds of less than 10,000 won account for over 50% of all eligible recipients, affecting 1,039 people. The main causes of local tax refunds are vehicle sales and scrapping, national tax refunds, and errors in taxpayer reporting and payment.
Additionally, the district plans to offset small unclaimed refunds of 100,000 won or less that have remained unclaimed for more than six months against regular local tax assessments, or if there are unpaid taxes owed, offset them against those payments and return any remaining balance to taxpayers.
An official from the district's Tax and Customs Division stated, "We will make ongoing efforts to expedite refund applications by continuously sending refund notification letters to ensure that refunds rightfully belonging to taxpayers are returned promptly."
In particular, taxpayers can inquire about and apply for their refunds through the We Tax homepage (www.wetax.go.kr) or by using the civil affairs service at Government 24/7 (www.gov.kr).
