What this law does

  • This Order sets what goes into the declarations an employer (事業主) files each year for its labor insurance premiums: the labor insurance number, its name and address, the premium base (保険料算定基礎額) — chiefly the year's total wages — the premium rate, the number of workers and any corporate number. For a business without a set end, the Act has it declare within 40 days from 1 June the final insurance premium (確定保険料) for the insurance year just ended, worked out on that year's wages, paying any shortfall against the estimate already paid, and declare and pay in the same 40 days the estimated insurance premium (概算保険料) for the new year, worked out on the wages it expects to pay; where the insurance relation (保険関係) ends part-way through a year the final declaration is due within 50 days of its ending, and where it begins part-way through the estimate is due within 50 days of its beginning. Where those expected wages are at least half and no more than twice the past year's premium base, the estimate is worked out on the past year's figure instead.(Art. 24(2), Art. 33(1), Art. 11(1)(ii), Art. 24(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 15(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 19(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 19(3)) (the provisions it rests on)
Read the full overview
  • The declarations go to the revenue collection officer (歳入徴収官) of the Prefectural Labour Bureau for the workplace, and depending on the premium and the business may be handed in through the Bank of Japan, a pension office (年金事務所), the Labor Standards Inspection Office or the Public Employment Security Office. A specified corporation (特定法人) — a corporation whose capital or contributions exceed 100 million yen at the start of its business year, a mutual insurance company, an investment corporation or a specific purpose company — must file its yearly estimated and final declarations online, unless its labor insurance affairs are entrusted to a labor insurance administrative affairs association (労働保険事務組合), the declaration is an estimate due within 50 days of an insurance relation (保険関係) beginning part-way through a year, or a line failure, disaster or other reason makes filing online difficult and filing on paper is found workable. Premiums other than stamp insurance premiums are paid with a payment slip (納付書), unless a payment notice (納入告知書) was issued, to the Bank of Japan or a receiving officer (収入官吏) of the Prefectural Labour Bureau — or, for the premiums the Labor Standards Inspection Office handles, of that office — or, with approval, by direct debit from the employer's bank account for the estimated insurance premium, its installments and a final insurance premium's shortfall.(Art. 38(1), Art. 38(2), Art. 24(3), Art. 33(2), Art. 38(3), Art. 38(4), Art. 38-2(1), Art. 38-4(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 21-2(1)) (the provisions it rests on)
  • An employer (事業主) whose business has no set end, and whose estimated insurance premium (概算保険料) is 400,000 yen or more (200,000 yen where only one of the two insurances applies) or whose labor insurance affairs are entrusted to a labor insurance administrative affairs association (労働保険事務組合), may apply when declaring to pay the estimate in equal installments (延納) for April to July, August to November and December to March, unless its insurance relation (保険関係) began on or after 1 October of that insurance year; one that began from April to September has its first period start on that day. The installments are due within 40 days from 1 June (within 50 days from the day after the relation began, for the first installment of one that began that year), by 31 October and by 31 January — the later two by 14 November and 14 February where an association handles its affairs. A business with a set end, unless it lasts six months or less, may pay in the same periods over its whole duration where its estimated insurance premium is 750,000 yen or more or an association handles its affairs, the first installment due within 20 days from the day after the relation began and the others by 31 March, 31 October and 31 January.(Art. 27(1), Art. 27(2), Art. 28(1), Art. 28(2), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 18(1)) (the provisions it rests on)
  • Where the estimated insurance premium paid exceeds the final insurance premium, the employer (事業主) can claim the excess back when filing its final declaration, or within 10 days after being notified of a final insurance premium the government has determined. Without a claim, the revenue collection officer (歳入徴収官) applies the excess to the next year's estimated insurance premium or to unpaid premiums and other amounts due, and tells the employer. Where the expected premium base rises during the year to more than twice the figure first estimated, and the estimate on it is at least 130,000 yen more than the estimated insurance premium already paid, the employer must declare and pay the difference within 30 days of the rise, as the Act requires.(Art. 36(1), Art. 36(2), Art. 37(1), Art. 37(2), Art. 25(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 16(1)) (the provisions it rests on)
  • When an insurance relation (保険関係) begins, the employer's (事業主) notice — due within 10 days under the Act — also gives the business's name and outline, the employer's address, the number of workers, the expected period for a business with a set end, the contract amount and the client's name and address for construction, the expected volume of timber for logging, and any corporate number; it goes to the Labor Standards Inspection Office or the Public Employment Security Office, which may ask for a certificate of registered matters (登記事項証明書) or other documents. A change in the employer's name or address, or in the business's name, place, kind or expected period, is notified within 10 days from the day after the change. The Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare publishes online each notified employer's name and address and whether the business has industrial accident insurance and employment insurance.(Art. 4(1), Art. 4(2), Art. 4(3), Art. 5(1), Art. 5(2), Art. 79(1), Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance Art. 4-2(1)) (the provisions it rests on)
  • Appended Table 1 sets the industrial accident insurance rate (労災保険率) for each kind of business — 3 per 1,000 for wholesale and retail, restaurants and hotels and the other businesses not listed elsewhere, 6 to 34 per 1,000 for construction, 52 per 1,000 for forestry, and 88 per 1,000, the highest, for metal mining, non-metal mining other than limestone and dolomite, and coal mining, with 2.5 per 1,000 the lowest — and a shipowner employing seafarers pays 42 per 1,000. Special enrollment insurance premiums (特別加入保険料) are worked out on the yearly amount Appended Table 4 gives for the person's basic daily benefit amount (給付基礎日額), from 3,500 to 25,000 yen, counted by the month for someone who joins or leaves part-way through a year; the rate for Class II is in Appended Table 5 (3 to 52 per 1,000), and for Class III it is 3 per 1,000.(Art. 16(1), Appended Table 1, Art. 21(1), Art. 22(1), Art. 23(1), Art. 23-2(1), Art. 23-3(1), Appended Table 4, Appended Table 5) (the provisions it rests on)
