71 tax-delinquent vehicles caught in one day of enforcement on Jeju

Jeju Province has reported significant success in its crackdown on tax-evading vehicles, apprehending 71 cars with outstanding debts in just one day. The intensive operation, conducted on May 28, saw 29 public officials from the provincial government, autonomous police, and city tax departments deployed across key areas. These officials focused their efforts on high-traffic zones such as Jeju International Airport, large public parking lots, and busy urban centers in Jeju City and Seogwipo City. The targeted vehicles included those with unpaid automobile taxes, as well as those failing to undergo mandatory inspections or lacking mandatory liability insurance. Additionally, vehicles with over 300,000 won in unpaid fines for speeding and parking violations were included in the sweep. In total, the 71 vehicles identified owed 45.36 million won in back taxes. Of this amount, 6.92 million won was collected on the spot. The province also seized license plates from eight vehicles registered outside Jeju but operating within the province, which collectively owed 6.27 million won. Yang Ki-cheol, head of Jeju Province's Planning and Coordination Office, emphasized the necessity of these collection activities for fairness to compliant taxpayers and pledged continued cooperation to pursue high-value and habitual offenders using all available means.
