Suwon City Achieves 84.1% of Annual Delinquent Tax Collection Target by September

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Special City has collected 84.1% of this year's delinquent tax collection target as of September.

The city set a target to collect 4.423 billion won in delinquent local taxes and non-tax revenues this year, and collected 3.72 billion won, reaching 84.1% of the target by September 30.

On the 30th, the city held a 'Second Half Delinquent Tax and Non-tax Revenue Collection Strategy Report Meeting' at the City Hall situation room with approximately 10 attendees including Lee Won-gu, Director of Economic Policy, and related department officials, sharing the second half collection plans and each department's implementation status.

The city collected 1.81 billion won from 568 high-value delinquent taxpayers and processed 222 public auction referrals and approximately 158,000 account and salary garnishments.

The city enhanced taxpayer convenience by using Kakao notification messages for mobile electronic billing notices and sending accompanying guidance documents by mail. Approximately 270,000 delinquent payment notices were sent.

By year-end, the city plans to increase the collection rate through delinquent taxpayer status surveys, seizure and impoundment operations, and on-site collection task forces, targeting collection of 4.42 billion won or more, the annual collection goal. The city also plans to make every effort to minimize carried-forward delinquent accounts.

Lee Won-gu, Director of Economic Policy, stated, "Although collecting delinquent taxes is challenging amid internal and external uncertainties, we will continue strong collection activities by operating intensive collection measures in the second half," and "We will contribute to expanding the city's finances through delinquent tax collection."
