Anyang City: "Pay Your Annual Vehicle Tax in January and Receive a Tax Discount"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] Anyang City announced on the 20th that it will accept applications for lump-sum annual vehicle tax payment (annual payment) by the 2nd of next month.

The city dispatched "2026 January Vehicle Tax Annual Payment Tax Bills" on the 12th. The dispatch targets 72,000 vehicles out of 230,000 registered vehicles in Anyang City (31%), with an annual tax amount of 20.1 billion won.

Under the Local Tax Act, vehicle tax is normally required to be paid twice a year (in June and December). However, if you pay the full annual amount in advance in January, you can receive a tax deduction benefit.

The tax deduction rate is approximately 4.6% when paying annually in January. While annual payment applications can also be made in March, June, and September, the largest tax savings can be obtained when paying in January, as the tax is discounted for the remaining period until the end of the year.

If you paid vehicle tax in lump-sum last year, the annual payment tax bill will be automatically sent this year without needing to reapply. Vehicle tax annual payment applications and payments can be made through visits, phone calls (to the relevant district office under the taxpayer's jurisdiction), or online (Wetax).

For inquiries, you can contact the Anyang City Hall Tax Affairs Division (☎031-8045-5545) or each district office Tax Affairs Division (Man'an District 031-8045-3292, Dongan District 031-8045-4470) for detailed guidance.

Seon Yeon-seok, head of the Tax Affairs Division at Anyang City, stated, "January offers the largest vehicle tax savings benefit. We hope many citizens will reduce their household financial burden through lump-sum annual payment," adding, "We will continue to improve systems so citizens can pay taxes more conveniently and reasonably."
