Resident Tax (Municipal and Prefectural)

A municipal and prefectural resident tax is levied on your prior-year gross income by the municipality where you are/were a resident of Japan as of January 1 of the current year. How much you will be required to pay for your resident tax will be calculated based on your prior-year gross income and be notified you in June.

There are a few methods (by bank account, with a bill, etc.) to make a payment for your resident tax.
