Car Tax Payment Deadline 2017 (H29)

---

This year’s deadline for tax payments is May 31st (Wednesday).

Every citizen owning a vehicle must pay this tax once a year. And the money collected is used for education, improving health and welfare services, transportation infrastructure maintenance, unemployment benefits, disaster preparedness and many other important government initiatives.

Every owner of a vehicle has already received an envelope containing a picture of a red car (see the model below).

Automobile Tax Payments can be made through the bank and also through others facilities including convenience stores.  You can also use a credit card to pay your tax (over the internet).

If the deadline expires, a “late payment fee” will be charged along with the automobile tax.

And for those who do not pay even after receiveing the late payment notice, a penalty determined by law will be applied, and material assets may be seized such as vehicles, salary, among others.

Make the payment until May 31st.

Your Tax Payment receipt is required when you take your vehicle for an inspection (shaken) so please keep it in a safe place.
