Hi, sorry if this is super basic but I have no idea about anything tax related in Japan.
So, the whole time I’ve been in Japan I’ve worked for a company and they have dealt with my tax for me. Now I am looking to quit my job and do a year long training course. This means I will most likely be unemployed for a while before I start the course. I live with my wife (no kids) who is self employed and pays a lot of tax.
What is our best option while I’m unemployed and while I’m on the course? My wife seems to think it would be a good idea for me to become her dependent. Can I do something for my tax because I’m in education? I really have no idea. Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated.
