Paldal-gu Intensifies Campaign to Promote Property Tax Payment

Paldal-gu in Suwon announced that as of June 1st, it has imposed a property tax of 19.367 billion won for the regular July 2012 installment on 77,912 residential and building owners, and is making all-out efforts to promote tax payment.

The district is installing promotional banners and signage for property tax payment at various locations, posting notices, and launching alerts through SNS including Twitter and blogs, as well as on its homepage and electronic billboards.

The district announced that the property tax payment period extends until July 31st, and taxpayers can make payments at all banks nationwide, as well as at agricultural cooperatives, fisheries cooperatives, and post offices. Online payment, credit card payment, and virtual account payment options are also available.

Additionally, the district announced that the "3651 Virtual Account Real-time Payment Service" is available, which allows property tax payment and payment confirmation confirmation anytime and anywhere by simply calling 031-228-3651 without needing a tax notice.

A district official said, "If payment is made after the deadline, taxpayers must bear an additional 3% surcharge, and given that congestion at financial counters and internet access overload are expected on the final payment day, we urge early payment of property taxes before the deadline."
