@twalton94 Thanks I may look into this, but im not sure if my company would be happy to shake things up like that.

@kristhuy Appreciate the response, thanks! Yeah that's why this is so confusing, my Australian accountant told me that I'm still an Australian resident for tax purposes, which meant that I should continue doing what I was doing. But everyone here is saying that I'm automatically a Japanese...

@hark Thank you very much for your reply. I may need to find another accountant that is well versed in the tax treaty between Australia and Japan, or maybe find one here in Japan instead. Sounds like I've definitely been doing it wrong until now though.

@rogueebear Thank you, I really appreciate all the information and assistance you've provided!

@rogueebear Sorry I was/am confused too, I might've said the wrong thing regarding resident tax earlier. I quickly spoke to my spouse, I am on her Shakai Hoken, but our local tax office said to her that I don't need to pay residents tax (wrong info again I presume). So sounds like I will be...

@rogueebear The information given to me would have been during my WHV time, when I received my first tax form in the mail, I cant recall the date though (there was no abnormality due to covid in my case, no covid extensions etc). My (Japanese) spouse was the one on the phone with them, we made...

@kristhuy Oh really that's all? That's a relief! I thought I was going to be on the hook for 25k+ or something. If that's the case I don't mind actually paying that + my super at the same time.

@kristhuy Yeah so basically it means I'll have to cover it with my savings, and then get it all back once I leave Japan.

@kristhuy Hmm I see thank you. What do you mean by getting the credit for both systems? You mean I can withdraw my pension from Japan when I leave?

@kristhuy Thank you for the great information. Do you know if its possible to transfer the contributions I made (wrongly) to my super to the Japanese pension system? Edit...

@rogueebear Thank you for reply, appreciate it. I think your logic makes sense, I would probably just be treated as a resident for tax purposes for my entire stay so far, it'd probably make it easier for me to rectify too. I'm earning about ¥11 million a tax year, but I think fraud is a bit of...

Hi All! As the title says, I'm an Aussie living in Japan, and I'm working remotely for my Aussie company. I've been here in Japan almost 2 years - on a working holiday visa initially (until March this year) and on a spouse visa since then. I've been working remotely for my Aussie company the...
