Tax Information 税金

更新日:2024年5月8日

Residence Tax (Municipal / Prefectural Tax / Forest Environmental Tax) 住民税(市民税・県民税・森林環境税)

Residence Taxes are municipal, prefectural, and forest environmental taxes one pays annually to the municipality and prefecture one resided in as of January 1st of the year.

The amount of annual residence taxes one must pay is the sum of three individual taxes:

the “income-based amount”, which is a flat 10% of taxable income (6% for the municipal and 4% for the prefectural tax), the “per capita amount” which is a flat rate of 4,000yen (3,000 yen for the municipal and 1,000 yen for the prefectural tax), and 1,000 yen for the forest environmental tax.
Please also see the easy-to-understand bilingual guide to resident taxes distributed by the City.

Individuals who must pay Residence Tax

  • Those who were registered residents of Matsudo City as of January 1st and who earned more than a certain income threshold* in the previous year
  • Those who possessed an office or other piece of real estate in Matsudo City as of January 1st (even if they do not possess a personal address) and who earned more than a certain income threshold* the previous year (required to pay only the per-capita amount)

* This income threshold varies depending on the number of dependents the individual is responsible for and whether the individual has a disability, etc. For more details, please contact the Resident Taxation Div.

How to pay Residence Tax
PaymentType Subject Payment Method Determining Residence Tax

working for a
company, etc.
This is a process whereby every month employers
automatically subtract a portion of an
individual’s wages to cover that individual’s
residence taxes.
Employers report their employees’ income
payments and other tax-relevant documents
to the city, and based on that information the
city determines each individual employee’s
residence tax amount.

pays their taxes to the city. This method

Self-employed individuals, or individuals
who earned no income last year, must file tax
returns so that the city may determine their
residence tax amounts.
