税務署 means "Tax Office" in English.
The word 税務署 (ぜいむしょ) is composed of three kanji: 税 (tax), 務 (service/task), and 署 (office/agency). Together, they form the term that means "tax agency" or "tax office." In Japan, this is the institution responsible for the collection and supervision of taxes, equivalent to the Federal Revenue in Brazil.
Unlike more everyday words, 税務署 does not appear as often in informal conversations. Its use is more related to bureaucratic contexts, such as tax declarations or tax guidance. Nonetheless, it is an important term for those living in Japan or dealing with official documents.
Origin and structure of the word
The formation of 税務署 follows a common pattern in Japanese, where kanjis are combined to create specific in technical areas. The kanji 署, for example, appears in other words related to public offices, such as 警察署 (けいさつしょ - police station). This structure helps to identify the meaning even for those who are still learning.
It is worth noting that, although 税務署 is the standard form, some people may colloquially shorten it to 税署 (ぜいしょ). However, in official documents and formal communications, the full version is always preferred.
How to memorize and use 税務署
An effective way to reinforce this word is to associate it with practical situations. For example, if you live in Japan, you will likely need to visit the 税務署 to resolve tax issues. Creating flashcards with sentences like "昨日、税務署に行きました" (Yesterday, I went to the tax agency) can aid in learning.
Another tip is to pay attention to the radicals of kanjis. The character 税 (tax) contains the radical 禾 (rice ear), which was historically linked to taxes paid in grain. This small historical connection can make memorization more interesting and lasting.
