Life is Beautiful.

These are my personal thoughts, and perhaps some of them might be wrong. I am no expert, but I would like to express my thoughts on these matters in English.

Japanese people work hard and pay income tax . It is called "Shotoku zei".
We pay sales tax, called "Shouhi zei", on general purchases everywhere in Japan. It is called "Shouhi zei".
If we own property, then we pay real-estate tax on it. It is called "Kotei-Shisan-zei".
We pay residence tax, "Juumin-zei", to the local community. It is called "Juumin-zei".
The tax on alcohol differs depending on the degree of alcoholic proof [I don't understand - alcoholic content?]. We also pay sales tax on it. It is called "Sake-zei".
There are many people who hate smokers and treat them like losers with weak minds. The thing is, all smokers get ripped off by the country and are required to pay a tobacco tax called "tabacco zei" or "meiwaku-zei".
If we have a car, we have to pay vehicle tax and gasoline tax on it. It is supposed to help fund the constructino of roads in Japan. It is called "Jidosha zei" and "gasolin zei".
If we go to a public bath place and take a bath, we have to pay a bath tax called "Nyuuyoku zei".
When we get a loan from a bank to run a business by ourselves, then we also have to expect to pay a corporate income tax called " houjin-zei".
If we give or receive money, we have to pay a gift tax called "Zouyo zei"
Even if we are young and we have to keep paying pension until we get old. It is called "nenkin". [is this what you wanted to say?]
If we reach old age, we have to pay nursing-care insurance for as long as we live. It is called "Kaigo hoken ryo".

Sigh..I decided to skip keep the other rest of the taxes off the list. Thanks for reading and your help is very much appreciated as always.
