【Final Tax Return】

The Final Tax Return is used to declare incomes from the previous year. Returns are accepted from Feb 16 to March 15. Those who are not taxed at source, receive salary from more than one company or have other incomes are required to declare their income. In cases of overpayment due to failure to declare dependents, you may be refunded. If you incur high medical expenses you may also be refunded. Refunds are dependent upon your salary but a general benchmark is expenses incurred in excess of 100,000 yen will be eligible for a refund. Final Income Tax Returns are accepted at the local tax office. You can also pay taxes and download documents required via the website of the National Tax Agency (http://www.nta.go.jp/).
