On that day, Sejeongui and staff from the city's Taxation Division actively informed citizens visiting Uijeongbu Station about the resident tax payment month, as well as the electronic delivery and automatic transfer application systems for local taxes.
Citizens, who were introduced to Sejeongui's friendly appearance and intuitive guidance, interacted directly with the robot's screen to access necessary tax information and showed great interest by taking commemorative photos with Sejeongui.
Individuals subject to the resident tax are required to pay 11,000 won by August 31. However, taxpayers who have applied in advance for electronic delivery and automatic transfer will receive a 1,600 won discount and pay 9,400 won.
Lee Gyojae, head of the Taxation Division, said, "I would like to thank all the citizens who responded positively to our new initiative utilizing the Sejeongui robot," adding, "We will continue to provide helpful information to citizens in an easy and intuitive manner."
