Opposition parties have lambasted Kanda, a tax accountant, over the matter, given his role in the Finance Ministry, which is in charge of taxation.

TOKYO — A Japanese senior vice finance minister resigned Monday in the wake of a magazine report that said his company had failed to pay taxes, dealing another setback to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Kanda's resignation follows the departure of two other Cabinet members since Kishida revamped his Cabinet in September. "I became busy with national political affairs and the weight of my tax accountant work decreased," Kanda said in a parliamentary session last week.
