Frequently Asked Questions (Municipal Resident Tax - Tokyo Metropolitan Resident Tax)

QuestionA tax payment notice was sent even though the Municipal Resident Tax and Tokyo Metropolitan Resident Tax are being deducted from my salary.

Response

Do you have any income other than the salary from the company that withholds your tax at source (such as Pension, business income, real estate income, dividends, or capital gains from stocks)?
In that case, only the portion of the annual tax amount corresponding to the salary income from that company will be withheld at source, and the difference must be paid by yourself using a payment slip or other means.
Please contact us if you wish to have the full amount deducted from your salary.

Additionally, on the final tax return and the Municipal Resident Tax and Tokyo Metropolitan Resident Tax declaration forms, there is a section where you can indicate whether you prefer to pay the difference separately or have the entire amount deducted from your salary.
