I’m looking for help in understanding my Japanese tax situation.
I came to Japan this spring on a 1 year Japanese descendant visa. I am continuing my same remote IT job I was doing before in the US. I am now working from home in Tokyo (the company has no physical Japanese presence). My US employer is considering me still in the US.
I am being paid in USD to a US bank account. I have a Japanese resident card, am paying for Japanese national health insurance and got an exemption from the national pension.
A few specific questions
* Do I owe Japanese taxes for 2023?
* If I renew my visa into the future, will my tax situation change after having spent a year in Japan?
* Is there a person/company/best resource elsewhere I should reach out to for help?
* Are there other questions/considerations I should be thinking about?
I appreciate any help in understanding my tax obligations or lack thereof to the Japanese government.
Thank you!
