I tried to actually use 'e-Tax' which made it possible to file a tax return online without prior notification.



" E-Tax " is a system that can make a tax return on-line that appeared in 2004. In the past, it was not possible to use it before notifying the tax office president in advance and receiving notification of ID and password, but after 2019 no prior notification becomes necessary, as soon as there is a My Number card and an IC card reader In fact, I tried to make a final tax return. In addition, it is necessary to arrange for my number card and IC card reader for reading card information with PC in advance.

It became unnecessary to prepare in advance and I felt that the fact that it was possible to finish the final return without going to the tax office greatly lowered the hurdle of the final return. If you use e-Tax, you can submit it in January 2019, but the tax office's window is declared from February 18, 2019 (Monday). In addition, the due date of the final return is Friday, March 15, 2019, and for sending using e-Tax, reception on the server side is completed by 24 o'clock on March 15, 2019 (Friday) is needed.
