Yeongdeungpo-gu to Impose 12.6 Billion Won in Second-Half Vehicle Taxes

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Yeongdeungpo-gu in Suwon announced that it will impose 12.6 billion won in second-half 2020 vehicle taxes on 71,200 vehicles.

The second-half vehicle tax assessment targets vehicles registered or reported in Yeongdeungpo-gu as of December 1, with the payment deadline from the 16th through the 31st of this month.

Vehicles are exempt from the assessment if their owners paid annual taxes from January to September this year, or if the annual vehicle tax is less than 100,000 won for low-emission vehicles, vans, and cargo vehicles and the second-half tax was paid in advance in June.

However, those who registered new vehicles or transferred ownership of used vehicles on or after July 1 must pay vehicle taxes proportional to their ownership period from the registration date.

A district official urged, "Please pay within the deadline to avoid disadvantages such as license plate confiscation," and requested, "Given the increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases, we ask you to use non-face-to-face payment methods such as virtual accounts, local tax deposit accounts with no transfer fees, ARS credit cards (1899-7500), Wetax, and internet transfers instead of visiting banks."
