Tax Advice Needed for NZ Permanent Resident Living in Japan

Hi everyone,

I'm a New Zealand permanent resident with Japanese citizenship, currently living in Tokyo. I work remotely in IT for a New Zealand company and get paid in NZD into my Kiwi bank account. My salary is $50k.

I left New Zealand due to the rising living costs and to be closer to my family. Luckily, my employer allowed me to continue working full-time remotely.

I'm trying to understand my tax obligations and how the Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) between Japan and New Zealand might apply to me.

• Do I need to pay taxes in both countries?
• What should I say at the kuyakusho (city hall) when registering?
• Is it better to register as a digital nomad or as someone not working and continue paying taxes in New Zealand?
• I'm a contractor not a full time employee

I'm planning to hire an accountant, but I'd appreciate any insights or advice from this community first. Thanks!
