Smartly Pay Taxes Cashless This Spring Tax Season

From April to June, individuals face significant expenses and payment procedures, including automobile tax, property tax, and national pension insurance premiums.

To allow more people to experience the convenience of "Pay-easy," which eliminates the need to visit financial institutions or convenience store counters and enables secure payments 24 hours a day from home, the Japan Multi-Payment Network Promotion Council is implementing this campaign (look for the Pay-easy mark or eL mark*1).

Increase Your Chances of Winning with "Proxy Applications" from Family Members

Campaign applications are accepted not only from the payment obligor but also from "family members or related parties" as proxy applications. For example, even if a parent pays the taxes for their child living separately using Pay-easy, they can apply*2. Every time you use Pay-easy, your chance to win 10,000 yen in cash increases.
