Okay so I asked this a while ago and got no responses but I thought I'd try again at a more reasonable time of day:
I've been in Japan on a WHV and will be leaving soon. The only income I've received is from some freelance work and I know that I'll pay a flat 20.42% on everything I've earned. In looking into paying my taxes before I leave i found this post which directed me to this site for paying my taxes by credit card even after I leave which would be very convenient for various reasons and I'm wondering if anyone here has used it before
A few questions:
- Can I just fill out the Article 172 tax form and mail it in to complete my tax return?
- The website mentions "If you request Tax Payment Certification after making a credit card payment, the Certificate will indicate that the payment was made by credit card until the payment is processed by our company, which may take up to 3 weeks" but it's not clear to me how I would request the certification. Is it part of the process on the website? Or is this just the email mentioned here ? Ultimately I'll need to file a tax return back home and I want to be able to show that I've paid my taxes here.
Thank you!
