Stubborn Hair: Itakura-san, the eponymous taxing woman, has a stubborn cowlick that her boss is always reminding her about, but her swipes at it with a hand don't do much.

Intimidating Revenue Service: The titular character is an income tax investigator in Japan. A note in the beginning of the English dub says that the top tax bracket in Japan is over 90%, so tax evasion has more or less become a national pastime. She ends up ruining an honest mom-and-pop establishment because their daily meals include food they prepare for themselves at their own restaurant, and makes a grown pachinko arcade operator cry to save himself from a million (!) in back taxes. Then she transfers to a different department, whose job includes taking on the Yakuza - and it's a fair contest.

Victoria's Secret Compartment: Subverted. Early in the film Itakura, newly promoted to tax investigator, arrives late to a raid on the apartment where a suspect's girlfriend lives. Confronted, she appears to drop a key she keeps for the target into her bra, giving the otherwise all-male group of agents the excuse to ask her to undress. The heroine points out that she really dropped it through her shirt and it's the floor beneath her.
