Gwonseon-gu Earns Top Rating in Overdue Tax Collection Management

Gwonseon-gu achieved the highest rating in Suwon's overdue tax collection assessment by reducing carried-over delinquent taxes from 21.37 billion won in the previous year to 17.053 billion won, a reduction of 4.317 billion won compared to the prior year for fiscal year 2011.

The district stated that it continuously and intensively implemented strong collection methods including property seizure and public sale of assets for chronic tax delinquents, vehicle license plate impoundment, official-responsible collection system operations, and electronic deposit garnishment.

In addition, ahead of the year-end closing period, the district sent delinquency notices to approximately 50,000 residents in early February to promote local tax electronic payment and credit card virtual account operations, while assisting chronic delinquents through installment payment arrangements and withholding property auction sales so they could become sound taxpayers.

Park Min-gyun, head of the Tax Division, said, "This year as well, all staff will focus all their capabilities on reducing overdue taxes to secure sound finances for Suwon, thereby enabling the implementation of the Human City Suwon where people feel welcomed."
