Do Not Ignore It
Tax and income certificates are often important. If you cannot get one, check the reason early.
Common Reasons
Moving city, no income record, late tax filing, job change, or recent arrival may affect certificates.
Ask City Office
Ask the city office what certificate is available and why another certificate cannot be issued.
Prepare Other Records
Payslips, withholding tax slips, tax return copies, bank records, or company documents may help explain your case.
Consult Immigration
Ask Immigration or a professional what documents to prepare for your situation.
