Can an electronically delivered withholding slip be used for a dependent deduction refund application?

Brief answer: Yes. Electronically delivered withholding slips have the same validity as paper versions. Print and mail them with other materials.
Detailed explanation
More Japanese companies deliver withholding slips electronically via My Number Portal or company intranets. When filing a Correction Request form, a complete printout (including company name, year, and all amount fields) serves as a formal attachment. Ensure the printout is clear and matches the original. Some tax offices accept e-Tax data linkage, but paper mailing for overseas parent deductions remains common. Keep a PDF backup. Final material requirements depend on your local tax office.
