For Shakai-Hoken, which includes both Employee’s Health Insurance and Pension, it’s enrolled through the employer and paid through the employer as well via salary deduction.
For National Health Insurance, the enrolment is managed by the municipality and the corresponding tax is billed locally by that same municipality.
-> is it then a local tax?
For National Pension, the enrolment is managed by the municipality as well,
-> but what about the tax bill? Is it billed by the municipality or directly by the Japan Pension Service (Nenkin)? Is this tax considered a national tax or a municipal tax?
