Don't Lose Your License Plates — Pay Vehicle Taxes by the 26th

"To avoid losing your car license plates, pay any outstanding vehicle taxes."

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that it has designated the 26th as "Provincial-wide Delinquent Vehicle Crackdown Day" and will conduct special inspections on vehicles with overdue vehicle taxes in cooperation with police, highway authorities, and other related agencies across all 31 municipalities and counties.

License plates will be impounded from vehicles with delinquent vehicle taxes and penalty fines, with inspections focused on densely populated residential areas, crowded commercial districts, and public parking lots.

Vehicle owners whose license plates have been impounded can recover their plates only after paying the full amount of delinquent vehicle taxes at the relevant municipal or county office or financial institutions.

As of the end of February this year, Gyeonggi Province's delinquent vehicle tax amount stands at 186.903 billion won.

The province conducted intensive crackdowns on delinquent vehicles twice in April and September this year, inspecting 1,954 vehicles and collecting 369 million won in overdue vehicle taxes.

Ryu Young-yong, director of the Tax Justice Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, “Through continuous crackdowns on vehicles with delinquent taxes, we will foster an atmosphere of faithful tax compliance among taxpayers.”
