I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Your video saved me so much money this week! Thank you ♡

Thanks for the info. Many people need to see this video.

It's interesting how much residence tax doubles, based on salaries that do not increase, and how the government can't figure out why foreigners do not want to pay it.

Excellent video, thank you! This is very important information that I haven't really heard the mainstream JapanTubers talk about.

Great info, thanks! Also, where did you get that shirt? It’s so cute! 😊

Perfect timing... It's my first month working in Japan and I'm so grateful to have this kinds of info from you and other vloggers. Hope your taxes will stop increasing next fiscal year...

Thank you for making this video nobody really post information about taxes in japan and nobody not even my employers would inform you about the residential tax.

Do we need to pay the entire resident tax for year eventough you leave japan early?

Thank yo' so much love you from India

Why not just dont get an insurance?

Omg thank you for this video. I literally just got my first stack of tax bills in the mail and was just like ????????

I have lived in Japan these last 21 years. That residence tax and medical insurance is based on your income. If your income goes up, those payments go up too. Yes, if you are not a regular employee but a freelancer, these amounts will not be automatically deducted from your salary and you will have to save money out of your freelance earnings to pay them. Don't forget the national pension payment too. Last I checked it was around 17000 yen a month. If you don't stay long in Japan, you can get some of that back in a lump sum when you leave. I remember I worked freelance for about 9 months before I got a regular job. Years later, they came at me with a demand to pay pension contributions for those nine months. Question: do you get hassled for those tatoos when you go to a sentou or onsen?

Im a tranee in japan..but our boss deducted my salary for residence tax..im just only tranee here not residence.why

So which bills are required and not required. I have military insurance issued in america that I can access at military bases throughout japan, so would I need health insurance in japan really?

So weird stumbling on your channel after not seeing you in 15 years 😂❤️

question. if you already have house in japan and paying property tax, do you have to pay for residence tax?

I wil be a student luckily for 2 years dont plan on working. Is it better to buy a house or apartment in Japan. I plan on going to Fukuoka Japan.

Hey I'm thinking about going to Japan on a visitor Visa and then turning it into a work visa what was the process like for you?

Are you from the US? Do you file taxes with the IRS and do you pay taxes to the IRS? I know that US and japan have a tax treaty and so if you pay more in japan, you don’t pay taxes to the irs. Ugh I’m confused cuz if I mess up, I don’t wanna go to jail.

The volume was a bit low.

Residence Tax 39000 x 4 = 156000 a year? Shakai hoken pays the Residence Tax too? Thanks

I'm confusing. My husband pay insurance, pension and all tax and also residence tax because I didn't have work. but now I don't know how to pay my tax from KZfaq Earnings... I get money so I wanna know how to declare tax from my KZfaq earnings. I live in Japan.

Why did your bf pay $700 a month for health insurance???
