전주시, 고소득·전문직 체납자 급여 압류 착수

Jeonju City takes action against high-income and professional tax delinquents for the collection of local taxes.

Jeonju City has announced that until June 1, it has designated a special collection period for local tax delinquency and is actively pursuing strong collection activities, as of the 11th.

The city has identified 172 high-income and professional tax delinquents among those who owe more than 1 million won in local taxes and are estimated to earn a monthly salary of over 5 million won. The total amount of their delinquency is 1.82 billion won, and the city plans to start wage garnishment and collection procedures.

The targets were selected based on income data from the National Health Insurance Corporation, including medical professionals, financial professionals, legal professionals, employees of large corporations, and public sector workers.

The city plans to send seizure notices in mid-May to encourage voluntary payment, and starting in June, it will notify the delinquents' workplaces of wage garnishment and proceed with full-scale collection efforts.

Prior to this, the city traced financial assets such as stocks and insurance securities, seized 144 cases, and collected 113 million won in delinquent taxes. It is also continuing collection activities against chronic delinquents by seizing and collecting 8 million won through the seizure and collection of solar power generation sales proceeds.

Choi Hyeon-chang, Director of the Planning and Coordination Office of Jeonju City, stated, "For high-income and professional tax delinquents who have the ability to pay but have not paid local taxes, we will implement strong collection measures such as wage garnishment," and added, "We will do our best to establish a fair tax order to ensure that diligent taxpayers do not suffer disadvantages."
