＜Japanese Version＞　昨日、e-Tax を使って今年の確定申告を行った。結果的には１７，９００円を納税する結果が久々に出たが、８０歳を越えると年金以外の収入を得る機会が極めて乏しくなり源泉徴収された税金が減少した所為であろう。そのメッセージに加えて『計算の結果以下の①、②に該当するため、所得税の確定申告と納税は不要です、と記されていた。　①公的年金等の収入金額が４００万円以下　②公的年金等に係る雑所得以外の所得金額が２０万円以下』という表示が出た。こんなことは初めてのことで、これも８１歳を越えた老人に出た救済処置なのだろうか。”雑所得以外の所得金額が２０万円以下”と言うのは去年もそうだったし、今年から初めて導入された処置なんだろうか？　これまでは「所得が１１０万円以下なら確定申告は不要」とずっと思って来たが、公的年金以外に収入のない老人は税金を払わなくて良いと言うことかも知れない。但し、市民税にはこんな特典はないので市民税の申請は必要かも知れないが、一応私の平成５年分の確定申告データは税務署に既に送付してあるので一応は音なしの構えで良いかと思う。

＜English Version＞　　　Yesterday, I filed this year's tax return using e-Tax. 　　　In the end, I ended up paying 17,900 yen in tax for the first time in a long time, but this is probably because once you reach the age of 80, there are very few opportunities to earn income other than pensions, so the amount of tax withheld at source has decreased. In addition to the message, it was written that. 　　　As the result of the calculation falls under ① and ② below, there is no need to file an income tax return and pay taxes. 　　　①The amount of income from public pensions, etc. is 4 million yen or less, 　②the amount of income other than miscellaneous income related to public pensions, etc. is 200,000 yen or less. 　　　 This is the first time something like this has happened to me, and I wonder if this is also a relief treatment for an elderly man over 81 years old. 　　　The income amount other than miscellaneous income is less than 200,000 yen was the same last year, so is this the first time it has been introduced this year? 　　　Up until now, I have always thought that if your income is less than 1.1 million yen, you don't need to file a tax return, but this may mean that elderly people who have no income other than public pensions do not have to pay taxes. 　　　However, municipal tax does not have such benefits, so you may need to apply for municipal tax, but I have already sent my final tax return data for 2023 to the tax office, so I can just keep it silent for the time being. 　　　I think so.
