In fact, this behavior might be causing you to lose thousands of yen every year! 2026 was a year of significant changes to automobile-related taxes, including the abolition of the "environmental performance tax" for car purchases. Furthermore, many people in their 50s and 60s who cherish their cars and drive them for a long time are unknowingly experiencing a tax increase of approximately 15-20% due to the "13-year barrier (heavy taxation)." This video thoroughly explains why you should absolutely not pay it as is, eight easy checkpoints for your tax notice, and the "ultimate payment method" that offers zero fees and even earns you points.

From April onwards, the initial cost of a car will be up to 3% cheaper. (※This is a different tax from the annual car tax) ✅ The More Care You Take of Your Car, the More You Lose Money! ? The "13-Year Barrier" After 13 years from the initial registration date (11 years for diesel vehicles), the automobile tax increases by approximately 15% to 20%! Furthermore, the weight tax also increases, reaching a point where it becomes cheaper to replace an older car than to repair and continue driving it. ✅ [Payment Methods] Beware of Credit Card Payment Traps! Many credit cards now offer point rewards that are less than half (e.g., 0.5%) when paying taxes. Additionally, a fee of approximately 0.8% is charged, meaning "point rewards fees," resulting in a net loss! We recommend using "eL-QR (QR code) smartphone payment (such as Rakuten Pay)," which offers points and has no fees. ⚠️ People Who Need a Tax Payment Certificate If your vehicle inspection is approaching, you've moved, or you plan to sell your car, the safest option is to pay cash at a convenience store or bank and receive a "paper tax payment certificate," rather than using smartphone payment. 📣 How old is your car? "I just learned about the 13-year barrier..." "I'll start paying with Rakuten Pay this year!"
