National Health Insurance Tax
National Health Insurance is a system to help each other pay out insurance tax and protect their health and living so that they can receive medical care without worry when sick or injured financially.
The financial resources of National Health Insurance consist of the insurance tax paid by all the subscribers and the national contribution. We provide medical expenses and various other benefits based on the financial resources. Therefore, the insurance tax you pay is an important source of national health insurance.

1. Taxpayer
For National Health Insurance, the head of household is the taxpayer. Even if the head of household has health insurance other than national health insurance, if any one of the family members has national health insurance, the head of household will be the taxpayer. However, in this case, the income and assets of the head of household are not included in the tax calculation. (When determining the reduction of insurance tax, the income of the head of household is also calculated.)
2. Payment Date
From June to January, there will be 8 payment dates.

3. How to calculate tax amount
The National Health Insurance tax is divided into three types: "medical benefit expenses," "elderly senior citizen support money," and "nursing care payment." The national health insurance tax amount is the sum of the four amounts.
| Category | Overview | Medical Benefit Expenses | Late stage elderly support money | Nursing care payment (only for those aged 40 to 64) |
| Income ratio | Calculated from previous year's income [income amount - basic deduction (330,000 yen)] x tax rate | 8.30% | 2.70% | 2.50% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asset allocation | Fixed asset tax amount to calculated tax year Fixed asset tax amount x tax rate | 21.60% | 5.30% | 1.10% |
| Equal share | Calculated based on the number of insured persons Number excluding fictitious household head number x Tax amount | 22,000 yen | 7,400 yen | ¥ 9,700 |
| Equal Divedend | Fixed amount per household | 28,500 yen | 7,400 yen | ¥ 9,700 |
| Credit limit | Insurance tax limit | 630,000 yen | 190,000 yen | 170,000 yen |
Legal Fiction household
The householder who is not eligible for National Health Insurance and has a National Health Insurance insured in the household will be charged as a householder who is insured.
4. Reductions
If the income amount of the previous year is less than or equal to the following year's amount, the equal dividend & and the equal percentage amount will be reduced.
However, in the case of pension income households aged 65 years or older, the amount obtained by deducting 150,000 yen from the previous year's income amount is the target amount used in reviews. In the case of Legal Fiction households, we will make a mitigation judgment including the income amount deducted the previous year.
