I've been living in Japan since 06/2022.
06/2022 – 07/2024: Cultural Activities visa with 0 JPY income
Since 08/2024: Work visa with regular income
I'm trying to understand if I will be charged residence tax for 2024 – if so, I want to use the Furusato Nozei system.
What confuses me is the January 1st rule (did I understand it correctly?) and the phrase 'residence tax is based on the previous year's income' (that sounds like the residence tax bill covering 2024 will be based on my income from 2023).
Is the following correct?
The residence tax bill covering 2024 will come in 2025. Because I will be a resident on January 1st 2025, I will be charged residence tax for 2024. So it does make sense for me to use the Furusato Nozei system this year (2024).
