About Tax Payment

All residents of Hikone, including foreigners who works, makes earnings, owns house/car/property assets, etc., have to pay taxes.

If you fail to pay taxes by the deadline, you will be charged for late fees (a penalty

for missing the tax payment) as well as handling fees (the cost of notification process and

notification letter for missing the deadline).。

When you refuse to fulfil your late tax payment, the city executes asset seizure on your monthly income, bank account or other income sources.

When you have a difficult time paying taxes, you are strongly advised to consult the Tax Collection Division.
