Coercive Collection Disposition of Town Tax Delinquency ［町税等の滞納処分を実施しています]
The town taxes are used as a financial resource for various projects conducted by the town so that all town residents can leadhealthy and affluent lives. When some people fail to pay their taxes on time, it is not fair to those who have paid on time, it puts
pressure on the town's finances and has a great impact on the services provided to the town's residents. The town instructs
delinquent taxpayers to pay their taxes by sending "Tokusokujo (reminders)" and "Saikokusho (demand letters)", making phone calls,
and visiting them at home, etc. However, for those who do not pay their taxes even though they have the funds to do so, thefollowing "Taino Shobun (delinquent payment measures)" are implemented.
Incidentally, the Tax Collection Division (Shuno-ka) of the town hall is always open for tax payment consultations. if you find it isdifficult to pay your taxes by the deadline due to various reasons, please contact us as soon as possible.
In addition, please use safe and convenient account transfer method to pay your town taxes.
■ Examples of "Taino Shobun (Delinquent tax collection and disposition)":･ Those who have employee income: Make a payroll inquiry to their employer and seize their salary.
･ Those who own real estate, cars, etc.: Seize them and hold public auction.
･ Those who own savings and other assets: Seizure of property when property is discovered during a financial institution's
investigation■ Points to note:･ For those who are delinquent in paying the town tax, a property survey will be conducted.
･ There will be no prior notice before delinquent taxes are collected or disposed of.
･ It costs a lot of money to collect or dispose delinquent taxes.
