Jang-an District Issues Reminder Notice for Environmental Improvement Contribution Arrears

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Jang-an District, Suwon City, will issue reminder notices on the 15th for unpaid environmental improvement contribution arrears from the first period of 2020 and last year's delinquent accounts (automotive: 24,669 cases totaling 1.767 billion won; facilities: 225 cases totaling 39 million won) to consolidate all outstanding accounts and increase collection rates.

The environmental improvement contribution is a system that requires the responsible party to bear the costs of environmental improvement projects resulting from pollutant emissions.

The fee is assessed annually in March and September to encourage pollution reduction and secure stable investment funds. In particular, this year the payment deadline originally set for the end of March was extended to June 30 to ease the financial burden on residents due to COVID-19.

The payment period for the reminder notices issued this time is from the 16th to the 31st of this month. If not paid within the deadline, measures such as seizure of the delinquent taxpayer's vehicles and real estate will be taken.

Payment can be made through commercial banks, virtual accounts, Wetax, or Internet Giro (www.giro.or.kr). For inquiries, contact the District Environment and Sanitation Division (031-228-5331, 5329).
