Basic Facts About Resident Tax You Should Know

Resident tax (住民税) is a tax paid to the local government of the area where you live. Because it is calculated based on your income from the previous year, payments run from June through May of the following year. In many cases, resident tax is automatically deducted from your salary. However, you may sometimes need to pay it yourself directly. For this reason, it is important to check your pay slip carefully and make sure all payments are made without fail. --- Source: Immigration Services Agency of Japan "Life and Work Guidebook" 第8版 https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/support/portal/guidebook_all.html This article was reorganized by ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社 based on the above source. ※This language version is a machine translation from the Japanese version (ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社).
