Taxes

Hello . I am got married with Japanese guy last year . Now I am in japan 5 month . I work in hostess club , and I want to pay taxes . Can I do it now ? Some people told me that I need to live in japan at least one year . Does anybody knows something about this . Please tell me .

You pay taxes for each calendar year. By now the tax filing period for last year (2017) is finished, and I don't know how much you earned in 2017. There is a certain threshold above which you need to file for your taxes.

You will be filing for your taxes based on your income during calendar year 2018 during the period of Feb. 16 - Mar. 15, 2019.

So this year, keep record of all payments received from your employer, keep record of all your expenses associated with the payments received. Also (I don't know how they pay you but) if your employer deducts any taxes or social insurance premium, keep record of those too; the employer (if they do deductions) will give you a statement at the beginning of next year.

Thank you very much .I just started to work one month ago . So I will pay next year

OK, then you don't have to worry about it for now.

By the way, the filing process is called "kakutei shinkoku."

Check with your Japanese husband, though; if he is a salaried worker, and if you make (in a year) below a certain amount, you will be considered is "dependent," and you don't have to do the tax filing on your own.

Thank you very much
