Telephone consultation such as tax payment grace Free call charges National Tax Agency New Corona May 13 17:30
As the new coronavirus infection continues to spread, the National Tax Agency has switched to toll-free telephone consultation from 13th and accepts telephone consultations such as a system where tax payment such as income tax and corporate tax is postponed for one year.
The NTA has established specialized telephone consultation desks at 11 national tax bureaus and the Okinawa National Tax Office since last month, as there is a risk that tax payments will increase due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
For telephone consultation, call charges have been charged so far, but from 13th, we switched to toll-free and accept consultation for free.
At the venue set up in Tokyo, approximately 50 employees of the Tokyo National Tax Bureau were divided into booths to answer questions from taxpayers.
According to the National Tax Agency, about 18,000 consultations have been received nationwide from the start of reception on the 21st of last month to the 12th. Therefore, "I would like to know how to write an application form" or "A new tax grace period" There are many contents such as "I do not know if it is subject to the special exception system, so please tell me."
Hiroyuki Iwabuchi, Manager of the Mobile Division, Collection Department of the National Taxation Bureau of Tokyo, says, "When applying for grace, we want you to use the Internet application or mail to prevent congestion at the counter."
The counter accepts consultations from 8:30 am to 5 pm on weekdays except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and the telephone number is listed on the website of the National Tax Agency.
