Notes on Use of Annual Statistics Report

1   Composition of Annual Statistics Report

(1)    The statistics report consists of 5 parts, that is, "Part I Overview", "Part II Direct National Tax", "Part III Indirect National Tax", "Part IV Collection", and "Part V Others".
   "Part II Direct National Tax"and "Part III Indirect National Tax"are arranged by tax items.

(2)      Figures listed are in principle for the whole nation. But with respect important items, figures by regions (by regional taxation bureaus and by prefectures) and yearly comparison of them for 6 years are listed.

2  Relationship of corresponding figures between tables

     The figures in each table of "Part II Direct National Tax", "Part III Indirect National Tax"are not the same as corresponding figures in "Part IV Collection, 18-1 Statistics of National Tax Collection, (1) Statistics of national tax collection, Amount determined for collection", mainly due to the difference of periods covered or the time of survey.

3   Unit and method of rounding fractions

(1)    Since the figures in each table are derived by rounding off, the sum of individual figures in a table may not equal to the subtotal or total.

(2)    The unit of the amount of money listed is 1 million yen in principle (when the amount is small as a whole, or when accuracy is required, 1000 yen or 1 yen will be used as unit).
Fractions are shown as "0", and non-existence of corresponding figares is indicated by "-". Unidentified cases are indicated by "...".

(3)   "X" in tables means that relevant figures are kept secret to protect information.
