Taxes

Here are some handy guides to help you fill out those pesky tax forms. Unfortunately, only the Canadian and American sections have been fully fleshed out. Please help us out by adding your country's specific information while ensuring that everything is up-to-date.

The Income Tax Withholding Slip

You may have recently received a slip that looks like this. It's your income tax withholding slip, or "kyuyo-shotoku-gensen-choshu-hyo" (給与所得源泉徴収票). This slip will be used when you file your taxes in your respective country. You should keep a copy of it for your records.

Any ways, what does it mean? Check out the statement key below the picture. The following information was originally posted on Nagoya International Center's website. For a more detailed explanation of how your income tax withholding was calculated, please visit their website!
