Sorry for the ambiguous title, I’m not sure what the thing I wanna do is called so I haven’t been able to find the information I need.
I’m a 正社員 at a software developing company. However I’ve been trying to find ways to earn some extra money and some of the things I’ve come up with is doing some free lance work or releasing an app myself. I plan to do this after work or over the weekends.
The thing is that at the very least I’ll need to buy a MacBook which isn’t that cheap. I heard that some people have external income while having some of their expenses be deduced from their taxes. I’ve also heard that there’s a minimum you are supposed to make every year in order to be able to have such expenses be tax deductible.
– Could anyone point me in the right direction about what this system is called?
– Are they managing their own company while also working somewhere else?
– If creating a company is required, is there any difference between the types (2 I think) that are available?
– Will my wife be able to “join this company” if she wants to do the same?
Any information would be greatly appreciated as I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to be searching for.
(As a side note, I’m naturalized Japanese so there won’t be any visa related issues)
