Hi all,
I've just submitted my Kojin Jigyo and Blue Form application yesterday (May 27). I've been working since January this year as a remote web dev receiving salary from a US company. This company transfers to my JP Post Bank account (via Wise) twice a month starting this January 2024. After learning about all the advantages of the Blue Form I looked to apply for it. But unfortunately apparently it should have been registered within 2 months of starting the business. Thus i put April 1, 2024 as my starting date on both forms instead of January so that it's still within the 2-month rule. The tax officer reviewed the forms and I asked about this and she said it was okay if I had earnings before the start date, but I have a feeling I might not have explained it correctly as my Nihongo is bad so there might have been misunderstandings. The whole process of submitting took just a few minutes.
Would I still be able to file taxes from my earnings received before April 1?
Would the tax people be able to see incoming cash flow in my bank account and verify only which are taxable? I ask because this year I also transferred cash to my JP Post bank account because our apartment's management company necessitated a large deposit in my bank account before we can be accepted.
Was my kojin jigyo/blue form accepted already or is this still subject for approval?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
