Uiwang City Selected as Top-Performing Agency in Gyeonggi Province's 'H1 2024 Special Tax Collection Strategy Evaluation'

[Suwon Ilbo=Kim Chung-young Reporter] Uiwang City announced on the 9th that it has been selected as the top-performing agency in Gyeonggi Province's '2024 First Half Special Tax Collection Strategy (Collection Activities)' evaluation.

The evaluation, conducted by Gyeonggi Province targeting 31 cities and counties in the province, assessed 22 indicators across 6 categories including carryover arrears collection rate, virtual asset delinquent disposition, home search, unregistered vehicle disposal, real estate public auction, and trust property delinquent disposition. Uiwang City received excellent scores in all items.

The city collected 3.777 billion won, which represents 39.2% of the 9.641 billion won in carryover local tax arrears, a level 15.6 percentage points higher than Gyeonggi Province's average collection rate of 23.6%.

In particular, the city received high praise for actively implementing strong delinquent disposition measures such as seizure of personal property through home search and real estate public auction against high-amount and habitual delinquents, as well as for establishing a customized collection system that includes tax arrears guidance through telephone consultation for small-amount delinquents.

Uiwang City Mayor Kim Sung-je said, "Going forward, we will spare no effort in collecting tax arrears through various taxpayer convenience systems and work our best to expand independent financial resources and foster a sound taxpaying environment."
