Japanese taxes are classified into national taxes and local taxes based on the taxing authority, and further categorized into income taxes, consumption taxes, and property taxes based on the taxable object. National taxes under the jurisdiction of the National Tax Agency and Ministry of Finance include income tax, corporate tax, consumption tax, inheritance tax, and gift tax, while local taxes include residence tax, fixed asset tax, and business tax. These taxes serve as important revenue sources supporting national and local government finances.
