Tax

Japanese（日本語（にほんご））

There are three kinds of tax in Japan:

1: National tax (paid to the government)

2: Prefectural tax (paid to the prefecture)

3: Municipal tax (paid to the Municipality)

For Prefectural and Municipal tax, you can pay this at banks or post offices by bringing your tax payment notice. The tax payment notice is mailed to you by your city and/or prefecture. You have to pay this by the due date. 

You can also pay at convenience stores or with smartphone payment applications, etc.

If the payment is not received by the due date, the city office tax division will send you a notice. You may be subject to penalties such as your property being seized (unable to freely use). Also, in addition to the tax payment, you will also be required to pay a penalty fee.

If you do not understand the contents of the tax payment notice, or if you need a tax certificate, please contact the sender of the notice.
