What is the resident tax?
The resident tax is a tax that must be paid to the local municipal office for foreigners having a domicile within Japan as of January 1, and earned income that is above a certain amount.The same applies if you leave Japan after January 2.
If the obligatory resident tax payment due is delinquent, the taxpayer may not be able to renew their foreign residency.
When you leave your employer
If an employee whose resident tax is withheld from their earned income through the special collection
provision leaves the employer, the unpaid portion of the resident tax can be arranged to be paid
through the general collection method. Another method is for the employer to pay the remainder of the
total unpaid resident tax amount due to the municipality by deducting the taxed amount from the
employee’s earned income and retirement allowance (lump sum collection).
When leaving Japan
A taxpayer who plans to leave Japan must appoint a resident in Japan (tax agent) who will be
responsible for handling tax activities on the employee’s behalf, and notify the municipality
where the employee lives if unable to pay the resident tax before leaving Japan.
