◆ Smart, Cashless Tax Payments This Spring
From April through June, consumers face a period of significant expenses and payment procedures, including automobile taxes, fixed asset taxes, and national pension premiums.
The Japan Multi-Payment Network Promotion Council is launching this campaign to help more people experience the convenience of "Pay-easy," which allows for safe and secure payments 24 hours a day from home, eliminating the need to visit financial institutions or convenience store counters (look for the Pay-easy mark or eL mark*1).
◆ Increase Your Chances of Winning with "Proxy Entries" by Family Members
Campaign entries are accepted not only from the person in whose name the payment is made but also via "proxy entries" by family members or associates. For example, if a parent pays the taxes of a child living away from home using Pay-easy, they are eligible to enter*2. Every time you use Pay-easy, your chances of winning 10,000 yen in cash increase.
