In order to minimize the inconvenience of payment during the epidemic, AEA states that from June 1, 2021, the maximum amount of paying the fine in the convenience stores for the cases deferred by the city or county government will be raised to NTD 30,000 from NTD 20,000.

   AEA says that as long as the overdue payment fined by the environmental protection authority is less than NTD 30,000, the public may bring the payment notice sent by the Branches after June 1, 2021 with a barcode and pay in any of the 7-ELEVEN, Family Mart, Hi-Life, and OK mart stores before the payment deadline. The public may minimize the inconvenience of paying at the counter of financial institutions or through postal remittance, postal bills exchange, and bank transfer during the severe situation of epidemic.

    AEA reminds the public that as of June 1, 2021, the maximum amount of each enforcement payment of national tax, local tax, health insurance premium, labor insurance premium, labor pension and the fine imposed by the environmental protection authority collection by convenience stores will be increased to NTD 30,000. The public may choose to go to the nearest convenience store to pay the overdue payment when receiving the payment notice with a barcode. The convenience of this implementation will save time and effort. The payment notice with barcode sent by the branches is “authentic.” The public can rest assured about paying at convenience stores and should do so by the deadline. If you are affected by the epidemic or have financial difficulties to pay the overdue payment in a lump sum payment, you may contact the operational staffs of each branch to apply for delay payments, installment payments or transfer to social welfare and employment service institutions. In addition, during the severe situation of epidemic, AEA urges the public to wear masks when going to convenience stores or taking the public transportation and follow the epidemic prevention regulations. Any violation of the epidemic prevention regulation will be fined by the authority, and for those who refuse to pay the fine, the branches of AEA will actively enforce the cases and protect the health of the public.
