What this document is
The same 課税証明書 but one year older: Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income. It PAIRS with the tax-payment certificate so Immigration can match “income that year” against “fully paid”. That is why you need two versions from different years.
What it must show
- Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income — the same fiscal year as the tax-payment certificate in the next station.
- Immigration requires the payment certificate to be the year whose instalments have all fallen due（全ての納期が経過している直近1年度分）. The newest year is still being deducted monthly, so the payment certificate is always one year behind the income certificate.
- Obtainable if you had a 住民票 on 1/1/2025. If you arrived after that date, skip this one.
- Get it while you are at the counter — an extra copy costs 300 yen; a missing one costs another trip.
Where to get it
The city hall (shiyakusho) where you were REGISTERED AS A RESIDENT on 1/1/2025. Whichever city that was, that is where you apply — if you have moved, go back to the old city or request it by post.
How to get it
- Take your residence card (or My Number card) to the city hall
- State each fiscal year you need — read out the 令和 year shown above
- With a My Number card you can also use the kiosk in a convenience store, which is cheaper
Cost & time
About 300 yen per copy, issued the same day. Ask for all three at once (two income certificates + one tax-payment certificate) so you only make one trip.
Notes
If one certificate shows BOTH the annual income and the payment status, Immigration accepts that single sheet — the official page says 「いずれか一方でかまいません」. Many cities print them together; just ask at the counter.
