Save 3% Surcharge by Paying Vehicle Tax on Time

Jangan-gu sent a notice on the 21st regarding "Ways to Save 3% Surcharge by Paying Local Tax on Time" to 11,686 taxpayers.

Taxpayers who are subject to the December regular vehicle tax payment must pay by January 2, 2012, and if they fail to pay by the deadline, they will have to pay an additional 3% surcharge.

The district operates various tax payment convenience measures for easy vehicle tax payment, including internet payment through WETAX (www.wetax.go.kr) and Korea Payment Gateway (www.giro.or.kr), automatic transfer, credit card payment, and virtual account payment. The district also explained that since March, residents have been able to pay local taxes at bank CD/ATM machines using cash cards (passbooks) or credit cards without requiring a tax bill.

A district official stated, "When using these various payment methods, you can save time and costs associated with bank payments, and especially save 3% surcharge by paying on time," and urged, "We ask that taxpayers please make sure to pay the December vehicle tax by January 2, 2012."
