Exiting Japan in Dec 2023 and will nominate a friend as an tax agent. Questions are with the intent of reducing the burden for my friend. Will also check with the tax office when I pop in to submit the Tax Agent form, but appreciate the experience of the folks here.
1) tax agent notification form 所得税消費税の納税管理人の届出書: I located the instructions for the form on the NTA website but the form itself remains elusive. Am I right to assume submission is only via the good ol’ paper form at the tax office?
2) Will the tax office send the required tax return paper forms to my tax agent or can I complete them electronically (when the system opens in Jan 2024), then print and mail/drop them off at the tax office?
3a) Can I file my final income tax return for 2023’s income taxes in person at the tax office when I am in Japan in March 2024 (on a business trip), even if I have a tax agent?
3b) If yes, do I need to terminate the nomination first? If there is no need to terminate, must my friend (aka tax agent) be present in person?
My income tax return would be fairly straightforward (single source of income) . I am aware there is the option of filing before I exit, but my employer may not provide the 源泉徴収票 in time.
Also need the friend/tax agent for the pension lump sum and associated tax process slightly later on.
