I live in Japan under an independent contracter agreement with my work. This means all my taxes are up to me to sort out.
I’ve been in Japan for less than a year and this is my first time needing to file taxes. This would all be fine except that I don’t have my pay slips. I was under the impression that the payslips were all kept on my company account but that is not true, they get deleted every month (I was not told I was supposed to download them)
My manager’s manager sent out a memo reminding us that we were supposed to download them and getting annoyed at people requesting them, as it was tedious work for him to procure them. This surprised me so I sent him an email apologising for the inconvenience but explaining that I need them and have no other way to do my taxes, only to be meant with no reply. I waited a few days and emailed again… And again. I’ve been completely stonewalled for over 2 weeks and no idea what to do. I’ve never met this guy and I never see him so I can’t bring it up in person either.
I’m just at a complete loss of what to do and I’m nervous I won’t be able to pay in time.
