Day 238: Income Tax Return

Usually in Japan, March is the due month of filling an income tax return form.
Due to the Coronavirus affects, the due is extended to April.

By the way it's called Kakutei Shinkoku (確定申告).
In English, it's Income Tax Return.

Yes, this is a translation of meaning.
If I were to translate Kakutei Shinkoku, I would do it as "Fixed Applying"
What do you apply???

I know Kakutei Shinkoku has been abbreviated, probably.
But there is now non-abbreviated explanation you could find here in Japan, maybe the word related with tax has been in oblivion.
This kind of naming happens sometimes...

Word of the day
oblivion : 忘却、昏睡

Quote of the day
“No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.”
