How to say "to do administrative/paper work" in Japanese?

Instead of the job in an administrative body or an administrative department,
I am referring to the kind of task that is administrative and that can concern
everybody:

(1) The part of the work of a worker that is administrative, such as the boss
of a restaurant who needs to prepare the contracts and insurance when hiring a
new employee, or a plumber who fills the documents when paying the taxes of
his/her enterprise, or a company employee who fills documents to justify the
purchase of a new equipment.

(2) The work that a person needs to do in his/her daily life, like paying
taxes, registering his new address at the city office, filling the documents
for retirements, etc.

書類仕事をする seems appropriate ([here](https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/paperwork),
[here](https://context.reverso.net/%E7%BF%BB%E8%A8%B3/%E8%8B%B1%E8%AA%9E-%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E/paperwork)),
but I also saw
[管理事務](https://ja.ichacha.net/english/administrative%20work.html) and
[管理の仕事](https://engoo.jp/app/words/word/administrative/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAADX7dw?questionId=13dc742a-4199-11ea-b588-ff413740177b).

I also don't know to what extent 書類 could be used alone, and if 行政 is ok, and
how to use them.




Things you described in (1) are typical 書類仕事. This refers to (often annoying)
paper tasks that are secondary to your main profession of plumbing, cooking,
programming, etc. Even a freelancer needs to to some 書類仕事. This is a word that
tends to sound negative.

管理事務 broadly refers to various types of clerical work done in the back office
of a company. Large companies have many clerks dedicated for 管理事務, but a
freelancer doesn't need this word (there is no one to manage), and a small
restaurant owner seldom uses this word.

Things you described in (2) look like 役所(関係)の手続き to me, but I'm not sure if
this is what you mean.
