Individual Citizen's Tax

An individual citizen's tax is levied on residents who have lived in Kawaguchi City as of January 1 and earned income during the previous year. It is also levied, on a per capita basis, on non-residents who have an office or a second residence in Kawaguchi .

Tax Report and Notification

You must file a tax report each year by March 15 with the Municipal Tax Division. If you have already filed a final income tax report, or if your income during the previous year consisted solely of earned wages and your payment report has already been submitted by your employer, you need not file this report. You should pay your taxes in four installments (June, August, October and January of the following year) according to the tax notification sent from City Hall.

Tax Payment

Tax payments may be made at the Tax Collection Division on the third floor of City Hall or in branch offices, at the Administrative Service Center in front of Kawaguchi Station or annex offices at train stations, at any of the designated financial institutions (bank, post office, credit association, agricultural cooperative, etc.) in Kawaguchi City or at convenience stores.

Advance Payment of Individual Citizen's Tax

If you plan to leave Japan before taxes are determined (during the first half of June), you should either designate a responsible person to pay your taxes for you, or make an advance payment (a system by which you pay a designated amount before you leave Japan ).

Various Types of Tax Certificates

1. Certificate of tax payment
2. Certificate of tax levy
3. Certificate of tax exemption

Application should be made in person. However, if made by a proxy, a power of attorney or a letter assigning the right of representation is required. You must also bring a piece of identification.
