Hwaseong City Implements Strong Tax Delinquency Enforcement Through Auto Public Auction

Hwaseong City is conducting stronger local tax delinquency collection activities compared to last year to ensure stable financial security and create a climate of faithful tax payment.

The Collection Division of Hwaseong City is implementing automobile public auctions, a strong delinquency enforcement procedure, to reduce automobile tax delinquency which accounts for 30% of local tax arrears, thereby suppressing increases in delinquent local taxes and collecting unpaid taxes.

The city has already conducted 7 rounds of auto public auctions this year, auctioning off 152 vehicles and collecting 280 million won. Starting from the 16th, the city has begun the final automobile public auction procedure of this year, targeting 20 delinquent vehicles.

Kang Shin-ha, head of the Collection Division, stated, "Due to the economic downturn, both households and businesses are experiencing financial difficulties, and we anticipate significant challenges in collecting delinquent taxes. However, through strong tax delinquency collection activities, we will contribute to securing the city's fiscal soundness and increasing tax revenue."
