Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How can I change the bank account for automatic withdrawal of Municipal Tax and National Health Insurance Tax?

A1. The procedure for changing the withdrawal account is the same as when starting account transfer. When you register a new account, the transfer from the previous account will be automatically stopped, so no separate cancellation procedure is necessary. However, if there are deficiencies in the application timing or the information provided, the account transfer from the desired date may not be processed in time. In that case, the account transfer from the previous account will continue, so please be aware of this in advance.

Q2. How can I stop the automatic bank transfer for Municipal Tax and National Health Insurance Tax?

A2. If you wish to cancel the direct debit, please contact the City Hall Collection Section, Hirao Branch Office, or Wakabadai Branch Office. Depending on the timing of your request, the process may not be completed in time, and the direct debit may not be canceled at your desired time, so please contact us at least two weeks before the transfer date.

Q3. How can I change the transfer method (by period or full period) for the automatic bank transfer of Municipal Tax and National Health Insurance Tax?

A3. If you want to change the transfer method, please contact the City Hall Revenue Section, Hirao Branch Office, or Wakabadai Branch Office.
