I am a company employee and I submitted my dependents list (overseas dependents) and other documents proving remittance to my employer.
I received the Withholding tax slip ( 令和5年分 源泉徴収票 ) and I can see that I got the income deduction for dependents for the income tax ( 源泉徴収税額 ).However my confusion is that I didn’t see any reduction in my resident tax ( 住民税 ) on Jan & Feb 2024 Payroll. It’s still the same as I was paying until last year. If I understand correctly, resident tax is levied on income from last year, so resident tax for 2024 should be less because I declared dependent for 2023.
Shouldn’t my 住民税 go down? My 所得税 for 2023 went down significantly and I got a refund adjustement from employer in Dec 2023 payroll. And I was expecting my 住民税 will down from Jan 2024 Payroll.
Do I need to file for tax return at [nta e-tax site](https://www.keisan.nta.go.jp/kyoutu/ky/sm/top#bsctrl), even though my employer has already adjustment?
