Osan City Operates "Vehicle Tax Delinquency Intensive Crackdown Day" on 27th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Osan City announced on the 23rd that it has designated the 27th as "Vehicle Tax Delinquency Intensive Crackdown Day" and will intensively implement license plate impoundment for vehicles with delinquent automobile taxes and vehicle-related fines.

Impoundment targets include △vehicles with three or more instances of delinquent automobile taxes △vehicles with accumulated fines of 300,000 won or more for violations such as illegal parking, inspection delays, and uninsured liability △vehicles registered as illegal resale vehicles. Among these, vehicles with three or more instances of delinquent automobile taxes are subject to impoundment on a nationwide basis.

After the impounded license plates are examined by the Osan City Hall Revenue Collection Division to confirm delinquency status and illegal resale vehicle registration status, they can be returned upon payment of the delinquent amount. Payment is available through multiple methods including CD/ATM machines, virtual accounts, Wetax, and ARS (☎142-211).

In addition to this crackdown day, the city conducts ongoing enforcement around the clock regardless of day or night and holidays. For vehicles whose license plates are not retrieved within a set period, the city has announced stronger enforcement measures including administrative orders, compulsory towing, and public auction disposal.

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae stated, "Tax payment obligations are shared commitments that all citizens must uphold together," and added, "We will create a fair city where citizens who faithfully pay their taxes are respected and tax justice is realized."
