[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Metropolitan City announced on the 22nd that it will expand its 'Mobile Electronic Notice System' and convert 8 types of notices related to local taxes and non-tax revenue from paper notices to electronic notices.
The city will complete expansion of the mobile electronic notice system by July and begin full implementation of mobile electronic notices from August. With the expansion of mobile electronic notices, the city expects to reduce annual postal expenses by approximately 450 million won.
Electronic notice subjects include △regular local tax payments and vehicle tax annual payment notices △local tax refund notices and applications △dedicated lane violation and parking fine advance, main department, seizure, collection, and overdue notices △vehicle fine overdue payment notices and more.
In particular, parking fine electronic notices will be linked to the next-generation non-tax revenue system, allowing citizens to verify violation photos and details on their smartphones. This system, being introduced by Suwon for the first time nationally, will provide a foundation for other local governments to utilize in the future.
The city conducted ongoing discussions with the Korea Local Information Development Institute and achieved agreements on linking parking violation data and violation photos.
Additionally, payment functionality following electronic notice viewing will be added, and the distribution targets will be generated through linkage with the next-generation local tax and non-tax revenue systems. Functions such as 'guidance for unpaid filers within the payment period' and 'postal service coordination to simplify paper notice distribution for elderly and non-viewers' will also be introduced.
Starting in November of last year, the city introduced the mobile electronic notice system and sent approximately 103,000 notices in total in electronic document format, including local tax payment reminder notices, non-tax revenue overdue payment notices, vehicle mandatory insurance reduction notices, and vehicle comprehensive inspection reminder notices.
The mobile electronic notice system utilizes certified electronic document relay providers such as Kakao and KT to send notices and guidance to recipients' own smartphones. Citizens can check them directly on their smartphones without separate applications, and address mismatch issues that cause delivery errors can also be resolved.
A city official stated, "With the expansion of the mobile electronic notice system, citizens will be able to more conveniently check notices and guidance on their smartphones," and added, "There are also positive effects of reducing costs for paper notice production and distribution, as well as protecting the environment." The official continued, "We will make efforts to enhance convenience in tax payments and realize a digital transformation of administrative services."
