[CLOSED – THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS] Hi – I am not American and this is not about tax across countries.
I changed job last year, in May 2023, with a fix term contract, my company is not paying my inhabitant tax (Not even sure why but I guess it is because of the fixed term contract). The base salary is higher than my previous company but the total with bonus is about equal.
Problem #1 Inhabitant Tax: So I have been paying the inhabitant tax myself since joining the company in May 2023. I was never late on any payments. Since 2 months, my company takes Y100k from my salary for inhabitant tax! I emailed HR and the payslip team who told me to speak to my local inhabitant tax. I emailed back HR telling them that I've been paying inhabitant tax myself since day 1, why charging me now! No reply from HR. That cannot not be possible that I know have to pay both the local ward and also on my payslip?!
Problem #2 Income Tax: When I did my self-assessment earlier this year, I had to pay an additional Y500k of my pocket in March 2023. A few months later, the tax office is sending me a similar amount to be paid in 2 parts: At the end of this month and around the end of the year. I understand the adjustment in March 2023 because my income was slightly higher. However, my only source of income is my salary, therefore I am already being taxed at the source. Why this additional tax? Are they using the Y500k correction/increase from last year as a base? Can I dispute this additional payment as I am already being charged at the source?
Since changing job my tax has been painful. HR is completely useless here to help me out.
