I am from the UK. I’ve been living in Japan for nearly 2 years and recently started a new job that allows me to do freelance work (explicitly written in my contract).
I’ve done bits and pieces of freelance work remotely for overseas companies here and there since I got here but it never added up to more than a few hundred pounds paid with PayPal so I never declared anything.
However, a lot of freelance work has come my way in the last couple months or so. I stand to gain several hundred thousand yen’s worth. I’m hoping this trajectory continues.
My question is…what do I do? I’m assuming I should declare this somehow. I’m normally paid via PayPal or to my UK account, but as I’m located in Japan I’m sure I have to file taxes here, right?
Sorry for my ignorance, in the UK it’s all automatic so this is very confusing for me.
Thanks!
