Wondering if anyone has experience / knowledge here.
Earlier this year I received a notice that I needed to pay estimated tax, or 予定納税, for 2025. Because there was no payment slip included with the notice, I went to the tax office and had them print me a slip which I then paid, understanding that I would need to do the same thing prior to the end of the year for the second portion. All of this was done prior to the August deadline in early July.
I've just received a notice that they did not receive my payment and they've included this time a payment slip. Upon checking my receipt for the payment I already made, I see that the slip actually indicates it was for the second portion, not the first like the slip I have now just received.
My Japanese is not the best, so possibly I misunderstood something upon receiving the original slip, but obviously I intended to pay the first portion.
Can I just show up at the tax office again tomorrow and try to explain what's going on? What worries me is that I have a PR application in-progress, and I have read that issues such as these can impact them. Is there anything I need to do to make sure that this doesn't impact it?
