非課税 meaning: tax-exempt

What it is

An amount or a person that is not taxed. A low-income household can be a 住民税非課税世帯 and get access to benefits.

When you see it

On your payslip and on city hall certificates.

What to do

Even with no income, file an income report at city hall: without it, the exemption does not appear in the records.
