Frequently Asked Questions (Municipal Resident Tax - Tokyo Metropolitan Resident Tax)

QuestionI have already disposed of (transferred) the vehicle, but why did I receive a tax notification?

Response

The light vehicle tax is levied on the owner as of April 1st each year.
Even if you no longer own the vehicle due to disposal, transfer, etc., if you do not complete the procedures for deregistration or name change, the registered owner will be taxed annually. If you have not completed the procedures, please urgently carry out the procedures for deregistration, transfer, etc.
