FW-90 -- Start Saving: June Approaches!

Why June? Well, in addition to everything else, health insurance, pension, and local tax payment cycles "restart" every April. Local residents' tax (jyuminzei), National Pension (kokumin nenkin), and National Health Insurance (kokumin kenko hoken) payments are typically based on your prior year's income, calculated for 2006 from your January-December 2005. These figures are usually available early in the following year, with the exception of persons who have adjustments from kakuteishinkoku (tax returns) filed in February/March.
