Tax certification

Tax certifications are often required for scholarships and loan contracts, nursery school admission selection, and renewal of period of stay.
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, a power of attorney filled out by the principal and proxy/agent's own identity verification documents.

  • 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 on the tax exemption certificate for fiscal 2023 is calculated based on the 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 resident registration in Yokohama City as of January 1 of the required year. In addition, tax payment certificate cannot be issued if the residence tax is exempt. The delivery fee is 300 yen per copy.
If you issue a tax certificate at the administrative service corner, you will not be able to issue it on the spot unless you accept it between 8:45 am and 5:15 pm on weekdays. It will be delivered after the next day.
