Tax certification

Tax certification is often required for scholarships and loan contracts, selection of nursery schools, renewal of period of stay, etc.
To issue a tax certificate, please bring your identity verification documents (resident card, etc.) and request it at the ward office or administrative service corner. If the request is made by proxy/agent, you will need a power of attorney filled out by you and a personal identification document of proxy/agent.

• Taxable (non-taxable) certificate…It proves the amount of residence tax calculated based on the income for one year from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year. For example, the tax amount stated in the tax exemption certificate for fiscal 2023 is calculated based on income from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
• Tax payment certificate…It proves the amount of tax to be paid and the amount of tax actually paid.

It cannot be issued to those who have not filed a tax return or those who do not have a resident registration in Yokohama as of January 1 of the required year. In addition, those who are exempt from residence tax cannot issue a tax payment certificate. The delivery fee is 300 yen per copy.
