자동차세 환급If you sell your car as a used car or cancel it due to export or scrapping, you can get a refund for the car insurance you have subscribed to and the car tax you have already paid. Automobile tax and automobile insurance are refunded on a prorated basis for the remainder of the period excluding the number of days of use.
Automobile tax is paid for a certain period of time in two installments, one for one year and one for two, and there is an annual payment discount system, so it is sometimes paid in lump sum. Car insurance also has a different period for each, but is usually signed up for one year. So, if you have already paid or sold the car in the middle of the subscription period, there will be a refund.
For example, if you sold a car in June, the car tax from the day after the sale date to December will be refunded on a daily basis, and insurance premiums will be refunded on a daily basis until the end of the sale. If so, let’s see how each can be refunded.
There is no separate application for automobile tax, and a notice of refund is sent by mail to the address of the vehicle registration within one month after the sale. And the refund will be deposited into the refund account entered at the time of car tax payment. It will take approximately 2 months to receive your refund.
However, you can also receive a refund through a separate application if you want to receive a refund faster or if you do not receive a separate mail. There are two main ways: to apply by phone to the tax department of the district office or to apply online through the Witax homepage.
To apply by phone, first call the tax department at the city hall or district office. It notifies the sale of the car and informs the owner’s name, license plate number, and account number for the refund of the car tax. Then, the tax department staff will look up the vehicle number and account number and process it within 7 days.

You can also apply online through the Witax website or app. After logging in to WiTax, click the local tax in the Refund Request menu in the Refund Request menu, click the amount to be refunded for the case, enter the refund account information, and click Apply to complete the application.
When you sell a car, you need a vehicle registration certificate or a sales transfer certificate that has been transferred to refund insurance premiums. And, if the cancellation was carried out due to export or scrapping, instead of the vehicle registration certificate, you can prepare one of the certificate of vehicle cancellation registration, scrapped vehicle acceptance certificate, or vehicle registration book.
If you subscribed through an insurance company employee, you can contact the insurance company employee to receive guidance and submit the necessary documents to receive a refund. Submit the documents according to the instructions of the person in charge, and after checking with the insurance company, the refund will be deposited into the registered account number.
If you signed up for a special mileage agreement, you can receive additional refunds. If you submit a photo of the license plate and instrument panel at the time of sale and meet the refund conditions, special mileage settlement is possible.
There are many ways to sell your car, but depending on how you sell, the process and time required are different. In the case of used car exports, cancellation is processed on the day of receipt or the next business day if late, so it may be one way to get a refund by quickly organizing through export.
Also, just because the process of selling or scrapping my car is over, it doesn’t mean it’s completely over. This is because the automobile tax and insurance premiums already paid for the car may remain. If you can get a refund, please make sure to take it and get a refund to finish it well!
