Suwon Special City Joint License Plate Impoundment Task Force Impounds 405 Vehicles in First Half, Collects 300 Million Won in Delinquent Taxes

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Special City announced on the 9th that it has achieved significant results through operating a Joint License Plate Impoundment Task Force, an integrated enforcement system that identifies and collects delinquent local taxes and automobile-related non-tax revenues in one go. In the first half of this year, the city impounded license plates from 405 delinquent vehicles and collected 300 million won in delinquent amounts.

Since February, the city has conducted rotating license plate impoundment operations centered on major roads, public parking lots, and areas with concentrated habitual delinquent vehicles. The city intensively cracked down on delinquent vehicles using vehicle-mounted license plate impoundment systems and on-site enforcement teams.

In the first half, 405 vehicles had their license plates impounded, with 6,677 delinquent cases totaling 693 million won in delinquent amounts. Among these, 334 vehicle owners paid 300 million won and had their license plates returned.

The Joint License Plate Impoundment Task Force integrates local taxes including automobile tax and automobile-related fines such as △parking violation fines △uninsured automobile mandatory insurance fines △overdue automobile periodic inspection fines to verify delinquency status and guide payment. It increases payment convenience while maximizing collection efficiency.

Vehicles whose license plates have been impounded must pay delinquent amounts including automobile taxes and automobile-related fines to have their license plates returned.

The city plans to continue on-site enforcement during the rainy season when rainfall is light and to continue cracking down on delinquent vehicles even during summer vacation periods.
