Dangjin City, Chungnam Province, announced that it has collected 405 million KRW in overdue vehicle taxes and fines through intensive crackdowns on vehicles in arrears until November this year.

From March to November this year, the city conducted both daytime and nighttime crackdowns on vehicles with overdue automobile taxes or related fines, resulting in the seizure of license plates from 858 vehicles.

This year, the number of vehicles with seized license plates increased by 51 compared to the previous year, and the license plate seizure rate for vehicles in arrears ranked first in Chungnam Province.

This achievement is attributed to the city's establishment of a dedicated tax collection department, which has strengthened enforcement against tax delinquencies.

For vehicles with a single overdue automobile tax payment, the city issued pre-notifications of license plate seizure to encourage voluntary payment. For vehicles with two or more overdue payments or unpaid vehicle-related fines, license plates were seized immediately.

Additionally, based on the "Local Government Local Tax Collection Consignment Agreement" among 16 cities and provinces, the city also cracked down on vehicles registered in other regions but operating in Dangjin City, seizing license plates from 319 vehicles and collecting 133 million KRW.

Through this process, the city received 30% of the collected amount as a commission from the respective local governments, achieving an additional non-tax revenue of 40 million KRW.

A city official stated, "We will do our utmost to seize license plates from vehicles in arrears to realize fair tax justice and raise awareness among delinquents," and urged, "Please make voluntary payments to avoid any disadvantages due to overdue taxes."
