Ganghwa County to Assess 2.78 Billion Won in Regular Automobile Tax for June

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County is urging residents to pay the regular automobile tax for June 2020 totaling 2.78 billion won for 25,320 vehicles by the deadline.

Tax subjects are vehicle owners registered in the automobile registration ledger as of the 1st of this month. Tax-exempt vehicles and vehicles paying annual taxes are excluded. For light-duty vehicles and cargo vehicles with annual automobile tax amounts of 100,000 won or less, the annual tax is assessed in June. Additionally, residents who failed to apply for annual payment installment in January can receive a 5% tax discount by applying for annual payment during June.

The automobile tax payment period is until the 30th of this month. Payment is available at all financial institution ATMs without a payment notice. In practice of social distancing related to COVID-19, payments can also be made through Wetax (www.wetax.go.kr), Incheon Metropolitan City Electronic Tax Notice System (etax.incheon.go.kr), and Internet Giro (www.giro.or.kr). Virtual account payments are also available at seven banks: Nonghyup, Shinhan, Woori, KEB Hana, KB, Suhyup, and Agricultural Bank.

Starting with the June regular automobile tax, the 'Local Tax Account Payment Service' with no transfer fees will be implemented. The method of using the local tax account is the same as the existing virtual account method. On the account transfer menu of your main bank, select 'Local Tax Account' as the deposit bank and enter the 'Local Tax Account' number stated in the payment notice as the deposit account number, and the taxpayer name, tax category, and payment amount will be automatically retrieved for easy payment. However, internet banks (Kakao Bank, K Bank) have limited access to the local tax account payment service.
