● Your annual National Health Insurance premiums (April 2021 through March 2022) are calculated based on your total income for 2020. If you have not completed an income tax report for 2020, please file one with the municipal office administering your address as of January 1, 2021. Insurance premiums cannot be reduced if even one person in the household fails to file an income tax report even if the total income for all household members is low.

● If you moved into Shinagawa City on or after January 2, 2021, the income you earned during 2020 at your previous address will be used as reference. If we do not receive a response from the municipal office administering your previous address before the premium calculation date, you will be notified of the per-capita amount only. As soon as we receive a response concerning your income, your insurance premiums will be recalculated and we will notify you of the adjusted premiums by mail.

● To reduce insurance premiums when a general member having health insurance at his/her place of employment and is up to 64 years of age becomes unemployed after March 31, 2018, you must bring his/her employment insurance eligibility certificate (indicating that the reason for leaving the work was at the convenience of the company) and apply for a reduction.

● If you are the head of your household, between 65 and 74 years of age, and all of conditions ① through ④ below apply, you must pay insurance premiums through a special collection from the pension you receive. However, if you would rather pay your premiums via account debit, this special collection from your pension can be stopped.
① The head of household is a National Health Insurance member
② All the National Health Insurance members in the household are between 65 and 74 years of age
③ The head of the household’s annual pension amount is ¥180,000 or more
④ The household’s total of National Health Insurance premiums and Nursing Care Insurance premiums does not exceed half of the pension amount

● Paying your National Health Insurance premiums via account debit is convenient.
