Re: Summary of taxation rights under Japan's tax treaties

Re: UK pension living in Japan
Personal Pensions, whether paid by the Pension Administrator or paid from an Annuity are not Public Pensions, and so are not included in the calculation for the 'Public Pension Deduction'. UK National Pension, US Social Security, Australian Super-Annuation, etc., are Public Pensions, and so are incl...

Re: Options for US citizens in Japan
Many thanks for the discouraging news that U.S. citizens can't take advantage of the new NISA accounts for passive investing. And thanks too for the link to Interactive Brokers Japan.

Re: UK pension living in Japan
Claiming a UK private pension in Japan is taxed differently from the public pension? If so, perhaps as "self assessed income tax on individual income"? So up to 1,950,000jpy, at 5%, and from there to 3,300,000 at 10%, and so on? I think annuities from UK government backed private pension ...
