Ganghwa County Imposes 153 Million Won in Annual Business License Tax

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 18th that it has imposed 153 million won in annual business license tax on 10,634 cases for 2021.

Annual business license tax is imposed on January 1 of each year to those who have received various types of licenses and permits. The tax is categorized into types 1 through 5 based on the type of license and the scale of the business facility, including floor area and number of employees.

Even if a license is revoked after January 1, there is a tax obligation for annual business license tax. Business facilities that are not actually operating must file a business closure report to avoid being subject to business license tax.

The payment deadline is by February 1. Payments can be made directly at any financial institution nationwide or through CD/ATM machines with a card. Additionally, various payment methods are available without visiting a bank, such as Wetax, internet giro, virtual accounts, and more.

A county official urged, "If you exceed the payment deadline, a 3% surcharge will be added, so please make sure to pay within the deadline." For inquiries, contact Ganghwa County Finance Division at 032-930-3309.
