Mokpo City is accepting filings and payments for resident taxes throughout August, with a deadline of August 31.
The city announced on the 6th that it is sending out resident tax notices and payment forms in phases, enhancing guidance for taxpayers to ensure timely filing and payment.
Resident taxes are divided into individual and business categories.
The individual resident tax is set at 11,000 won for heads of households residing in Mokpo as of July 1, 2026. However, those receiving basic living assistance, minors, and unmarried heads of households under 30 are exempt from taxation.
The business resident tax applies to corporations with a business location in Mokpo and individual business owners whose value-added tax taxable amount exceeded 80 million won in the previous year.
To facilitate payment, the city is sending out payment forms that include tax amounts and deadlines. If the information on the payment form matches the actual business status, taxpayers can pay without additional filing. However, if there are discrepancies, they must correct their filings through the WeTax system or the city’s Tax Division before making a payment.
Resident taxes can be conveniently paid at all national financial institutions and post offices, as well as through CD/ATM machines, WeTax, internet payment systems, smart WeTax, local tax revenue accounts, virtual accounts, and ARS.
The payment period for individual resident taxes is from August 16 to 31, while business taxes can be filed and paid from August 1 to 31.
Park Yoon-hee, the Tax Division Chief, stated that resident taxes are crucial for supporting citizen welfare and local development. She emphasized the city’s commitment to enhancing taxpayer convenience and fostering a culture of diligent tax payment. The city is providing support through the issuance of notices and various non-face-to-face payment systems to make it easier for citizens to pay local taxes.
Park Yoon-hee remarked, "Resident taxes are valuable resources for enhancing citizen welfare and local development. I urge everyone to ensure they file and pay by the August 31 deadline, and we will continue to improve taxpayer convenience through citizen-centered tax services."
