Date: 2024-06-07 07:20 am (UTC)DEFINITELY not the case in Germany, and I guess then also in Japan.
Tax here is handled locally ("county" level and even within cities at a district level). If you move, you get a new tax office. For many bureacratic things, you even get a specific person as a contact (sounds good but really pretty useless since German bureaucrats pretty much NEVER answer emails). When they were doing a reassessment of property values for the German version of "council tax", I had to fill in lots of info already known by the "county" Land Register. I Really don't know why (my guess was a) sheer lack of automation or comms betweeen systems and/or lack of staff to handle that task b) there are loopholes that rich people's clever tax experts can use... German tax law is bigger than ALL OTHER TAX LAW IN THE WORLD COMBINED!)
