Japan tax representative – any issues?

Hi all,

I am trying to find a tax representative among my friends but they are extremely worried about two things:

1) that my tax refund will be seen as an income to them and they authorities will create trouble

2) if they transfer my tax refund abroad, that this will be seen as suspicious as it is an “irregular transfer” and again they expect trouble.

Did anybody among you ever heard of problems and issues? Sadly, Japan is quite paranoid about those things.

Any reply will be appreciated.
