In June, some people will receive their first notice of estimated tax payments from the National Tax Agency.
People from other countries who don’t know about the Japanese tax system might be surprised by this sudden message from the National Tax Agency.
Estimated tax payments are a way to pay the tax you expect to owe in the future.
As long as you pay the right amount of taxes on your final return, you won’t end up paying too much.
You must make these payments according to Japanese tax law.
