A person paying, in Japan, a salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or a public pension or retirement package to a Resident must issue a paper-based payment slip indicating the amount of the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package and giving other necessary information to the person being paid, pursuant to Ministry of Finance Order.
前項の給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払をする者は、同項の規定による給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払明細書の交付に代えて、政令で定めるところにより、当該給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払を受ける者の承諾を得て、当該給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払明細書に記載すべき事項を電磁的方法により提供することができる。ただし、当該給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払を受ける者の請求があるときは、当該給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払明細書を当該給与等、退職手当等又は公的年金等の支払を受ける者に交付しなければならない。
In lieu of issuing a paper-based payment slip for a salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package under the preceding paragraph, the person paying the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package referred to in that paragraph may provide the person being paid the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package with the information that is required to be given in the paper-based payment slip by electronic or magnetic means, with the consent of that person and pursuant to Cabinet Order; provided, however, that at the request of the person being paid, the person doing the paying must issue a paper-based payment slip for the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package thereto.
In a case as referred to in the main clause of the preceding paragraph, the person paying the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package referred to that paragraph is deemed to have issued paper-based payment slip for the salary or other wage, severance pay or other such compensation, or public pension or retirement package referred to in paragraph (1).
