The Japanese government is working to streamline administrative procedures and improve convenience for citizens by advancing online services.
In the field of tax administration, the implementation of electronic filing via e-Tax is being promoted in accordance with a key plan for realizing a digital society.
Taxpayers are now able to file and pay taxes electronically, eliminating the need for paper documentation.
In order to use the National Tax Agency’s e-tax system, it is necessary to obtain a 16-digit user identification number. To acquire this user identification number, you will need your Individual Number Card.
This process may present certain challenges for foreign residents in Japan.
Should you encounter difficulties with filing your tax return, I recommend consulting a certified tax accountant.
