## Abstract

An account information management apparatus includes an input receiving unit for receiving a net price, a tax-inclusive price, and an amount to be actually transferred to a transaction party, out of a tax-inclusive transaction amount, a computing unit for calculating the tax amount included in the transaction amount using the information received by the input receiving unit, and generating actual amount account information in which a transaction of the amount to be actually transferred to a transaction party is recorded and tax account information in which a transaction record of only the tax amount is recorded separately from the transaction record of the amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party, and an account information storage unit for storing therein the actual amount account information and the tax account information in association with each other for each transaction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information management system using a computer for a user to pay tax from an account held at a financial institution, the information management system comprising:
an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) that is connected to a dedicated network;
an account information management apparatus that is connected to the dedicated network with a receiving device which receives a net price, a tax-inclusive price, and an amount to be actually transferred to a transaction party, out of a tax-inclusive transaction amount from the ATM;
a financial institution terminal that is connected to the dedicated network;
a personal terminal that is connected to the dedicated network via a public network; and
a tax amount information communication device that is inserted to the ATM in which a correction information of a deposited tax amount is recorded, wherein
the account information management apparatus includes:
a computing unit that separates a tax amount included in the tax-inclusive transaction amount from an amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party by filtering based on the information received by the receiving device, and separately generates actual amount account information in which a transaction record of the amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party is recorded and tax account information in which a transaction record of only the tax amount is recorded; and
a storage unit that stores as data therein the actual amount account information and the tax account information in association with each other for each transaction, wherein
the tax account information includes direct tax section where a direct tax amount directly paid to a taxing authority as a direct tax payment amount is recorded,
the computing unit, based on the amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party entered by the user, calculates
a money tax payment amount which will be deposited to the transaction party as an indirect tax amount and
a direct tax payment amount which will be directly deposited to the taxing authority instead of indirectly deposited through the transaction party
and records
the money tax payment amount as a deposit to the transaction party and
the direct tax payment amount as a deposit to be directly paid to the taxing authority,
when the transaction is made using a cash, the computing unit records a corrected tax amount in the tax account information, separately from the transaction record of only the tax amount, and
when the transaction is made using the tax amount information communication device, the computing unit subtracts a tax amount incurred for the transaction from the deposited tax amount recorded in the tax amount information communication device, and generates the tax account information, recognizing that the tax-inclusive price has been paid in the transaction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information management system according to claim 1, wherein
the computing unit divides the tax amount into the money tax payment amount and the direct tax payment amount.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information management system according to claim 1, wherein
the computing unit obtains the money tax payment amount by calculating a difference between the amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party and the net price.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information management system according to claim 1, wherein
the computing unit obtains the direct tax payment amount by calculating a difference between the amount to be actually transferred to the transaction party and the tax-inclusive price.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information management system according to claim 1, wherein
the computing unit withdraw the direct tax payment amount from a point tax payment amount.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information management system according to claim 1, wherein
when actual amount points are paid to the taxing authority as a pre-payment, the computing unit records the paid amount points into the points tax payment amount.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information management system according to claim 6, wherein
when the computing unit records the point tax payment amount, points paid are recorded as a minus value and points received are recorded as a plus value.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The information management system according to claim 6, wherein
when a business entity purchases a product, the computing unit records the direct tax payment amount to be paid withdrawing from received point tax payment amount.
