Hwaseong City Implements Strong Delinquent Tax Enforcement Through Vehicle Public Auction

Hwaseong City is undertaking stronger local tax delinquency collection efforts than the previous year to secure stable finances and foster a culture of conscientious tax payment.

The Revenue Collection Division of Hwaseong City is carrying out vehicle public auctions, a forceful delinquency enforcement procedure, to reduce automobile tax delinquency, which accounts for 30% of local tax arrears, thereby curbing the growth of delinquent local taxes and collecting outstanding taxes.

The city has already conducted seven vehicle public auctions this year, auctioning off 152 vehicles and collecting 280 million won. Beginning on the 16th, the city has launched its final vehicle public auction of the year, targeting 20 delinquent vehicles.

Kang Shin-ha, head of the Revenue Collection Division, stated, “While both households and businesses are experiencing economic hardship amid the economic downturn, we anticipate significant challenges in collecting delinquent taxes. However, through vigorous delinquency collection efforts, we will contribute to securing the city's fiscal health and increasing tax revenue.”
