RetireJapan

OK so thought I’d come back for completion. Here’s the procedure: 1) 18/9 sent the ‘Japan 1 DT’ form with Parts 2 & 3 of my P45 to the J tax office. Got a phone call a few days later asking for a translation as they had no idea what I’d sent them (though in a later phone call they said they’d fo...

Has anyone received a taxed lump-sum pension payment from the UK and claimed the tax back? I wonder if you could share the procedure? I cashed in an old private pension and received £14k ~ £15k (¥1.9m) in my UK bank a/c. I plan to leave it there until the exchange rate improves (or an emergency aris...

Update: Dec 2018 - there now seems to be a good option, checkout One fund to rule them all?

Bit late to the party, but the link above is broken. Do you remember where it was meant to be pointing?
