Vehicle Tax Payment Form
nouzei tsuuchisho ken ryoushushousho 納税通知書兼領収証書
This is the tax bill (orange in Ehime at least,) that comes in the mail and you pay at convenience stores. The prices varies by the type of car you drive. This is the tax you pay for just owning a car, think of it as a property tax. Don't confuse it with the weight tax, they are different. (Essentially you are being taxed on two different things!) You should get one every year and since shaken is every 2 years, naturally, you should have two of them. However, according to my rikuunkyoku (陸運局,) I only needed the one from last year, but I took both in just to be on the safe side. I only needed the most current one though.
