Hi,
I read many threads but cannot ensure my case fill in all of them, let me explain.
We owned an house in the Netherlands we're planning to sell to move to Japan. Big chance I'm entering in Japan (with a SSW visa) before the house is sold, but not my husband (will be in Europe for few weeks more, will join with a Dependent Visa). We owned this house for less than 5 years and considering how low if the yen right now, the gains will be over 30M yen.
Do we need to pay the almost 40% tax on the value over 30M yen?
As my husband will be still in Europe and owned 50% of the house, is my calculation wrong and I should count only gains on my "part"? (In that case below 30M yen) ?
If I'm still NOT working / have a salary when the selling happenned, is that can help?
Many thanks to help me entangled this!
