What 税務事務官 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

我が国では、納税者が自己の責任において適正な申告と納税を行う「申告納税制度」を採用している。この制度のもとで税務事務官は、主に納税者が提出した申告書の審査、確定した税金の管理・徴収の事務、税務調査などを行っている。また、納税者が適正な申告と納税を行えるように税に関する周知・相談活動も行なっている。
 税務事務官は、個人・法人の納税者から提出された申告書について内容を審査し、その結果、調査が必要であると認められれば実地調査を行う。経済の国際化や複雑化に伴って国際取引に対する税務調査も重要となってきており、担当職員が海外に出張することもある。
 確定した税金については、期限までに納められているかどうかを確認したり、納め過ぎの税金を還付したりする事務を行う。
 確定した税金が期限までに納付されない場合には督促を行う。それでも納付されないときには、納税者の財産を調査の上、差押え・公売等の滞納整理手続をとる。
 大口・悪質な脱税者に対しては、捜索・差押え等の強制調査を行う。この強制調査は、裁判所の許可を得て行うものであり、最終的には刑事罰を求めて脱税者を検察に告発する。
 税に関する周知活動では、税の意義・役割について国民一般の理解を深めるため、様々な媒体を使った広報活動に取り組んでいる。また、納税者の利便性の向上を図る観点から国税電子申告・納税システム(いわゆるe-Tax)の利用促進のための広報等にも力を入れている。
