Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province (Governor Seo Tae-won) is making every effort to collect overdue non-tax revenue to secure stable local finances and encourage sincere payment.
According to Gapyeong-gun on the 11th, after sending overdue notices for 1,953 cases of non-tax revenue arrears in the first round, the county plans to designate a focused collection period and launch strong collection activities.
The county has set the period from the 14th to November 30 as the "Second Half of 2024 Non-Tax Revenue Arrears Intensive Collection Period" and plans to carry out vigorous collection efforts.
As of the end of September this year, the carried-over non-tax revenue arrears amount to 2.8 billion KRW. This causes difficulties in local financial management and undermines fairness with taxpayers who pay faithfully.
The county will first set a 16-day voluntary payment period until the end of this month, sending arrears notices and notices of seizure and public auction. Through this, it aims to induce voluntary payment while thoroughly preparing for enforcement actions and administrative sanctions.
From November 1, for one month, the county will track assets such as real estate, vehicles, and financial assets to implement seizures, conduct public auctions of seized property, impound license plates of delinquent vehicles, and carry out strong enforcement measures including home searches. In addition, administrative sanctions such as public disclosure of high-amount defaulters and restrictions on authorized business operations will be implemented concurrently.
A county official stated, "For temporary and livelihood-related defaulters, we plan to support stable living by encouraging installment payments for tax capacity recovery and postponing compulsory execution. However, for unscrupulous defaulters who have sufficient ability to pay but deliberately fail to fulfill their payment obligations, we will intensify collection activities by thoroughly tracking hidden assets."
