Over the last few years, I have become the go-to guy to buy some stuff from Japan for a small community. Nothing crazy, just some things you can’t get outside of Japan. And I slapped a few thousand yen on top each time to make it worth my time to go to the post office.
Now, I don’t have permanent residency, but I could apply for it. I have a regular work visa.
How would I go about making those “profits” legal? I want to pay taxes, as they have now come to a number that probably isn’t insignificant for the taxman anymore. But I’m not even sure if I was allowed to do this activity in the first place.
Does anyone have some advice where to go from here? Should I keep quiet, get PR and then get an accountant to look over it? Should I do something now?
Really lost here as I got carried away with this over the years and now feel like I am stuck.
