Car tax

Car tax is a state tax that is levied to the car owners on the 1st of April in every year.

A statement of payment sent in May is usually a prepaid amount of 12 months up to March-April on the current year. In the case of scrapping the car (permanent de-registration), car tax will be refunded the amount of period from next month you scrapped the car to March. Typically the time period of refund will take 1-3 months but we will calculate the amount precisely and pay you in advance. However the light car vehicle tax is different from the car tax and unfortunately the light car which is levied the municipal tax will not be able to receive a refund. Refund amount of the car tax is calculated as "tax you paid for the year divide by 12 months times the number of months remains from the month you scrapped the car, exclude the month you scrapped the car" (rounds down less than 100 yen).
