Resident tax

Hi, I’m a little bit confused about resident tax.

I came as an ALT in September 2022, but did not start work until December 2022. I did not receive my first paycheck until January 2023. I did not need to file taxes for the 2022 year because I did not have an income at that time.

On January 1st 2023 I was living in a different prefecture, and in March of 2023 I moved to a new prefecture, with the same employer.

I have not been billed at all through my company or from city hall for any resident tax.

I plan to leave Japan May of 2024.

My question is, about how much resident tax can I expect to pay? Will I pay for the entire year of 2023 up front when leaving? Or just the months of 2024? I’m seeing such mixed things online, some websites even saying I will have to pay double resident tax for 2023 upon leaving, since I lived in a different prefecture on Jan 1st, 2023
