Japan Toolbox

Japan Resident Tax Timeline & Remaining Balance

Use your notice to see what remains unpaid, and keep each tax year separate. Supported tax years: 2025–2027. No income-based estimate.

This tool provides general, rule-based reference calculations and a timeline using your inputs. It does not provide legal or tax advice, individual tax consultations, or determinations of tax liability or exemption. It does not prepare or submit tax returns or notification forms. Check your latest official notice and municipal guidance for your actual tax amount and due dates.

Check the tax year, remaining balance, due dates, payment before departure, and tax representative procedures with the resident tax office of the municipality where you had your address on January 1. Consult that office or a licensed tax accountant (zeirishi) for individual tax matters. ↗

Dates and circumstances

Flight dates do not establish your address. Confirm your January 1 address for each tax year; temporary trips abroad may leave your Japanese address unchanged. ↗

Stop the balance calculation and check the latest annual amount and payment history with your city office. Income, treaty exemptions, deductions, retirement-income tax and other individual tax calculations are outside this tool. ↗

Inputs are processed in this browser. Do not enter your name, My Number, detailed address, notice images or a representative’s personal details.

Tax years and notices

The default ordinary collection selection is only a reference, not a legal decision. Ordinary collection is generally June, August, October and the following January; salary collection is normally June through the following May. Local rules and exceptions apply; reference months are not your due dates. ↗ Official source ↗
