Me and my husband( Japanese )we are buying a house here in Japan.
I have savings that I’ll use in my own country and my mother will help us as well. The amount is over the limit of the tax exemption for gift money.
I found online that people on spouse visa are subject to the gift tax, but even though I’m married I’m on a 5 years working visa, and I haven’t lived in Japan for over 10 years in a 15 year time period.
We try to contact some tax agents, but they all refuse to even talk to us.
I would like to know as well if my own money and not the one from my mother, will be subject to any kind of tax.
Does anyone have experience similar situation?
