Hi all,
In reference to this [previous](https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanFinance/comments/1av4qmq/declare_foreign_bank_account_interest_for/) post, thanks to [u/starkimpossibility](https://www.reddit.com/user/starkimpossibility/), I got to know that if the miscellaneous income is less than 200K (home country’s bank interest to be specific here), I only need to file a residence tax return, which itself might be unnecessary depending on if the amount is too low.
My question is since when does the global income starts getting as part of the calculation. For example, the bank credits the interest amount quarterly (Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec) and I became a permanent tax resident in October last year (when I completed 5 years of continuous stay).
In this case, should I declare the interest amount of December (paid after I became a perm tax resident) for my residence tax return (in case I want to file) or should the whole year’s interest payments combined should be declared instead (the 3 payments made before October + the one in December)?
