...Article 84 of the Constitution of Japan also declares the principle of taxation by law, stating that "The imposition of new taxes or the modification of existing taxes shall be made only by law or under conditions prescribed by law." The principle of legality of taxation can be summarized as follows: (1) the requirements for taxation (the requirements for the obligation to pay taxes to be established when met) and the procedures for the assessment and collection of taxes should be determined by law (the principle of statutory requirements for taxation); (2) the requirements for taxation and the procedures for the assessment and collection of taxes should be as unambiguous and clear as possible (the principle of clear requirements for taxation); (3) tax administration authorities must collect the amount of tax determined by law without treating taxpayers differently (the principle of legality); (4) the assessment and collection of taxes should be carried out through due process (the principle of procedural guarantees); (5) it is not permitted to impose new taxes or increase taxes retroactively based on completed facts of the past (the principle of prohibition of retroactive legislation); and (6) taxpayers should be given sufficient protection of their rights against the imposition and collection of illegal taxes. Local taxes must be levied and collected according to local ordinances established by local assemblies (this is called the local tax ordinance system). *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "legal principle of taxation" is listed below.
