Osan City Implements Strict Collection Measures Against Local Tax Delinquents Through Responsible Collection System

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Osan City announced on the 1st that it will implement 'delinquent taxpayer responsibility collection activities' to realize tax justice and secure stable local tax revenue.

Currently, the outstanding local tax delinquency from prior years totals 7.057 billion won, of which 2,821 taxpayers with delinquencies of 400,000 won or more account for 6.664 billion won in delinquent amounts.

To address this, the city plans to designate 8 local tax delinquency officers as special responsible collectors to proceed with collection efforts.

For small-scale delinquents, the city will continuously send guidance notices and encourage voluntary payment, while for large-scale delinquents, it will implement strong administrative penalties alongside asset seizures—including real estate, deposits, and wages discovered during the collection process—along with restrictions on authorized business operations, disclosure of delinquent taxpayer lists, and credit information registration.

Additionally, for small business owners facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19, the city plans to defer collection measures such as public auction postponement and collection payment deferral while encouraging installment payments. The city also plans to actively participate in identifying households in crisis by coordinating with relevant departments to support citizens facing welfare gaps.
