Highlights
  • The Tax Office Chief has 14,000 HP, the highest of any standard boss NPC in Sakura School Simulator.
  • He sits on the 4th floor of the Tax Office and guards a safe containing gold bars worth ¥500,000.
  • His attacks include a giant money-bag melee swing and homing coins at range.
  • The easiest kill is vehicle ramming — lure him outside and run him over repeatedly.
  • Warning: the Alice Skin resize trick multiplies both his HP and his damage.

The Tax Office Chief is Sakura School Simulator's toughest conventional boss, and beating him opens a safe with a ¥500,000 gold bar reward. This guide covers his stats, attacks, and the four proven ways to defeat him.

Two tutorial missions revolve around him: "Defeat the Corrupt tax office chief!" and "Get the 'Gold bar' at the tax office!". Both are worth doing early — the payout is one of the largest single cash rewards in the game.

Quick answer: Go to the 4th floor of the Tax Office and attack the Tax Office Chief. The reliable method is to lure him out of the building and ram him with a vehicle until his 14,000 HP runs out. After he falls, check the bookshelf behind his desk — a big safe with gold bars worth ¥500,000 is hidden behind it.

Inside the Tax Office Building

The Tax Office (zeimusho) stands in the Residential area of Sakura Town and has 4 floors of offices, interrogation rooms, and jail cells. Besides the boss, the building is staffed by Tax Officers (including a female variant) and a Tax Office Manager. These staff are no pushovers: when attacked, Tax Officers steal money from you at close range or fire homing coins from distance, and they drop around ¥300 when knocked out.

The building is also where one of the game's quiet Easter eggs plays out — the passerby NPC Kazue can be found being interrogated by a female officer in one of the rooms. Explore the lower floors before starting the fight so you know the exit route; you will need it.

He has two memorable voice lines: "It's my duty to bully people by my position!" as a greeting, and "You smell like money..." when your character is carrying ¥1,000,000 or more. In combat he closes distance for the money-bag swing, equips a coin barrier when pressured, and switches to homing coins when you pull back. His AI follows the player relentlessly — which is exactly the weakness the easiest strategy exploits.

Four Ways to Beat Him

1. Vehicle ramming (easiest). Lure him out of the Tax Office — his AI will follow you anywhere — then get into a vehicle and run him over repeatedly. The vehicle protects you from most of his damage while dealing large chunks to his HP bar. This is the community-standard method for a reason: it works at any character strength level.

2. Shotgun. The strongest weapon in the game shreds his HP at close range if you have good dodge discipline. Bring healing items and keep strafing to avoid the homing coins.

3. Reflect damage (Pregnant/Baby skin). The reflect-kill trick with the Pregnant or Baby skin turns his own attacks against him. It is slower but nearly risk-free once set up.

4. Raw stats. Push Arm Strength and Leg Strength into the 4,000–10,000 range and the fight becomes a one-touch vaporize. This takes the most preparation but makes every boss trivial afterward.

One warning repeated across the community: do not use the Alice Skin resize trick for this fight. Resizing scales the Chief's HP and damage alongside your own, turning a long fight into an impossible one.

The ¥500,000 Gold Bar and Other Drops

When the Tax Office Chief goes down, he drops ¥5,000 in cash — not the real prize. The real prize is behind his desk: once he is defeated, the bookshelf becomes interactive, and behind it sits a big safe full of gold bars. Picking up the gold bars completes the "Get the 'Gold bar' at the tax office!" mission and pays ¥500,000.

Remember the supporting cast while looting: the female Tax Officer who joins the fight with gold-coin attacks is worth knocking out too, and each Tax Officer drops around ¥300. Combined with the mission payouts, a single clean Tax Office run is one of the best early-game income spikes in Sakura School Simulator.

On the 4th floor of the Tax Office in the Residential area, sitting in the office with red wallpaper.

Conclusion

The Tax Office Chief is a numbers wall dressed as a corrupt bureaucrat: 14,000 HP, homing coins, and a coin barrier. But his one weakness — an AI that chases you anywhere — makes the vehicle method almost trivial once you know the route out of the building.

Do the fight early. The ¥500,000 gold bar behind his desk is one of the biggest single payouts in Sakura School Simulator, and the supporting mission rewards make the whole run worthwhile.
