hey guys im having some quite big questions abaut the working holiday visa and the shakai hoken “combination” that my boss is also having, and i thought this would be the proper place to ask, this is my situation:
i have been working in a part time job for couple of months, as im a non resident due to living here for under a year, im paying 20% in taxes, as i work properly and do my job as needed, i end up working quite some hours, and have been obtaining a income over 100.000yen for the last 2 months.
I have been told by my boss that if i go over 100.000yen for 3 months, i will have to pay the shakai hoken, and that if i wanna work full time he is okay and would like me to do that, but it would be happening that quite some part of my salary would be taked out due to 20% non resident tax + shakai hoken
i have been triying to search quite some but i havent be able to found some more, im gonna call my embassy too, but wanted to post here first
my questions are:
1- Would be the shakai hoken be calculated based on the income i have after the 20% has been taken, or before?
2- Do working holiday visa workers have to pay the full ammount of the shakai hoken?
3-is there something i can do or something different abaut the working holiday visa that makes the situation diferent compared to other visas?
i dont know if i should do it to be honest, if i loss 30+% of my income i would be working way more for a bit more pay, its true that now im living with arround 1000euros per month, and i have to budget quite some, but i dont know if its worth it for me, my boss also told me that workers would be able to work 2 years without entering the shakai hoken if then want from 2024, but he is not sure abaut that information and when he called the main office they werent sure either, tried searching the internet and didnt found anything related to that, so i would like to know if anyone knows anything? and if that rumor its true, do working holiday visas also apply?
i apologice in case this is not very clear and it seems like i havent done my research properly, i tried searching arround but i have barely been able to find anything related to it, thanks so much!
