Is the same thing going on in Japan? Is their IRS system as blatantly corrupt?

I'm sure they are corrupt. Blatant, no. They are very sneaky about it. If any Government official gets caught doing something wrong, a subordinate is blamed and after apologizing (with many bows) , the matter is forgotten.
I was charged taxes on my income on my monthly check. Then every year I paid a tax for living there. Even though I left before the year was over,I had to pay the full year's amount before I was allowed to leave Japan. Funny thing was no one could ever explain these "taxes" to me.
