Jangan District to Impound License Plates After Second Auto Tax Delinquency

Jangan District has established a concentrated license plate impoundment plan targeting vehicles delinquent on automobile taxes, effective from the 16th, and has launched intensive crackdowns.

For this license plate impoundment initiative, the district has organized joint impoundment teams comprised of district and dong staff to collect outstanding automobile tax payments. Using an automated vehicle recognition system, the crackdown will focus on areas with high vehicle density, targeting vehicles with two or more instances of automobile tax delinquency for license plate impoundment.

In particular, for vehicles with five or more instances of delinquency and outstanding amounts exceeding 1 million won, strong collection measures will be implemented, including forced towing following impoundment and public auction of the vehicle if payment is not made.

Every Wednesday, the district will impound license plates not only from vehicles delinquent on automobile taxes within the district but also from vehicles nationwide with five or more instances of automobile tax delinquency.

A district official stated, "We will continue to conduct ongoing license plate impoundments for vehicles delinquent on automobile taxes, and we urge taxpayers to pay their automobile taxes by the deadline."
