B Application guide 1 / 4

Important If your municipality will not begin issuing the FY2024 Income and Taxation Certificate (Certificateof All Registered Matters) before the end of the Step 2 Application’s acceptance period, submit the “Step 2
Application” form, any deficient documents from the Step 1 Application (if this applies to you), and a memo
(in a style of your choosing) stating when you can submit the Income and Taxation Certificate within the
Step 2 Application period. If you do not submit these documents during the Step 2 Application’s acceptanceperiod, you will be considered to have not completed the Step 2 Application and your application will beeliminated from the application review due to inadequate documentation.
○Acquiring the Income and Taxation Certificate for Fiscal Year 2024 (Certificate of All Registered Matters)(Important)
The Income and Taxation Certificate for Fiscal Year 2024 (containing income details from January to
December 2023) is issued from around June by the municipal office of the municipality in which you resided
on January 1, 2024 (the specific date of issuance varies depending on the municipality). Submit a certificate that lists
all relevant information, including your amount of income and earnings and amount of inhabitant tax assessed(Certificate of All Registered Matters with none of the details hidden by asterisks, etc.). The following arehandled separately.
● If you will submit a Taxation/Tax Exemption Certificate that lists only the amount of inhabitant tax assessed or
only states that the holder is exempt from tax, please also submit an Income Certificate.
● If you have not been issued an Income and Taxation Certificate or your correct amount of income is not listedon the certificate, it may be necessary to file a return for municipal/prefectural inhabitant tax. Please confirm thiswith your municipal office and ask it to issue you a certificate.
● If you have questions about how an Income and Taxation Certificate is issued or other matters, refer to thewebsite of your municipality or contact its municipal office directly.
● If you have not been issued an Income and Taxation Certificate due to the date you entered Japan or otherspecial circumstances, please inquire with your local municipal office for the specific reason the certificate was
not issued and then report this reason to the University beforehand. Simply stating “I was not issued a certificate”
as the reason will not be accepted.

4.

Adherence to the submission deadline and measures taken if it is missed

In the interest of fairness with respect to applicants who made the deadline and followed appropriate procedures, andalso to prevent review delays, the following will apply to applicants who missed the deadline for submitting documentsthat were found to be deficient or contained errors and to applicants who missed the deadline for the Step 2 Application.
● Documents submitted after the specified deadline will not be accepted.
● The Financial Support Office will not contact or urge the applicant to submit the documents even if the applicant
misses the specified deadline.
● Applicants who do not complete the Step 2 Application or resubmit documents that contained deficiencies or
errors by the specified deadline will be considered to have submitted inadequate documentation and be excluded
from application review.
* However, if the applicant consults with the Student Support Division Financial Support Office before the deadline
regarding, e.g., being unable to submit documents by the deadline, the above may not apply if the University deems
that there is a legitimate reason.

5.

Important points(1) Notifications relating to tuition fee exemption will be provided through the Saitama University Information System.
(2) The exemption amount will be the full amount or half of the semester’s tuition fees.
(3) Results are scheduled to be announced in August for the first semester and December for the second semester.
Do not pay tuition fees until the results have been announced.
If the application review establishes that a payment must be made, the payment method will be notified when the
results are announced. If you do not make the payment in question by the specified date you will be regarded ashaving “not paid the tuition fees” and not be qualified to apply for the next semester (even if you had applied for the
first and second semester together, if you do not make the payment for the first semester by the specified date, youwill lose your eligibility and the application review will not be conducted for the second semester).
(4) The application will not be authorized for cases including requested documents not being submitted by thesubmission deadline, the Step 2 Application not being conducted, or the application containing false information.
(5) If we discover that your application documents contain information that is not factual, we will not accept an exemption
application from you for a period of one year beginning from the relevant semester.

4.31 million yen or less
5.74 million yen or lessfrom a businessFor students who live independently from their own income source, the financial standards are determined based on
their (and their spouse’s) total amount of income.
