Acceptance of final tax returns such as income tax will begin from the 16th, and the National Tax Agency is urging people to actively use ``e-Tax'', which allows them to file their tax returns online.
The acceptance of final income tax returns for 2023 began on the 16th at tax offices across the country.
Those who are required to file a tax return include individuals who run their own businesses and company employees with an annual income of more than 20 million yen.
Actor Hideki Takahashi and his wife Mieko visited the Shinagawa Tax Office in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and while receiving explanations from tax office staff, they completed the procedures using ``e-Tax,'' which allows tax returns to be filed using a computer or smartphone. .
According to the National Tax Agency, "e-Tax" has been strengthened to link with the My Number system's dedicated website to improve convenience for tax payers, and allows for deductions for medical expenses and data on salary withholding slips. It can also be reflected automatically.
Mr. Takahashi said, ``Since e-Tax is easy and convenient, I would like many people to use it and file their tax returns as soon as possible.''
The deadline for accepting final tax returns for income tax and gift tax is the 15th of next month, but the National Tax Agency has decided to extend the filing and payment period in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures in consideration of the impact of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
