Due to family stuff, I'm returning to my home country and haven't decided whether or not I'll return to Japan. I'll keep my visa and I'll get the 1-year re-entry visa in my passport when I leave. I will also move out of my apartment and do the paperwork to leave my city ward.
So my question is, if I don't return before December31st, 2024, will I owe taxes on the income I earned in 2024? I've already paid the taxes I owe this year, but I'm wondering if I need to set anything up before I leave to pay taxes from abroad. Also, since I haven't decided if I'll stay away permanently, I am not filling out paperwork to get the pension refund just yet. Is there anything I should do before I leave in case I do want to file for a refund later?
