About the "Tax Agent" System（納税管理人制度について）

If you currently live in Higashihiroshima City and are leaving for or returning to a foreign country, you will need to designate a tax agent. Please designate a tax agent before leaving for or returning to a foreign country.

A ‘tax agent’ is a person who manages your resident tax payments, etc. (‘all matters related to tax’) on your behalf.

It includes receiving tax payment notices, paying resident taxes, tax consultations, and requesting and receiving refunds.

Resident tax is levied on people who live in Higashihiroshima City on January 1st of that year according to their income.
When the amount of resident tax is determined in June or when there are any changes to the resident tax, we send out tax payment notices and payment slips.
If you leave Japan without nominating a tax agent, we will not be able to send your documents and you will not be able to pay your resident tax . If you leave your tax unpaid, you may be subject to collection procedures.

In addition to your family and friends, you can also specify your workplace.
Please be sure to obtain consent before having someone act as your tax agent.

Please fill out the Tax Agent Declaration Form according to the sample and either send it by post to the address below or submit it to the Municipal Tax Division counter.
