Hello!
I’ll be moving to Japan this summer. Before that, I’ll be finishing a project for a company here (outside of Japan) but will likely only get paid for it a few months after having moved to Japan.
My question is whether I would need to report this income on my Japanese taxes next year even though the work was all done outside of Japan and prior to moving to Japan. I suspect I will have to because I will be living in Japan by the time I receive it.
Furthermore, would receiving foreign income be violating any visa related laws (my understanding is that I will arrive on a specialist in humanities visa, i.e. the visa for English instructors).
​
Thanks for any insight!
