I suppose one of these days, bonds will finally have a good year.
Relieving the pressure off the bond aficionados, and the "I told you so" bond folks will finally be smiling, a little bit.

Re: Tax Avoision (“…I say, ‘Avoision’”)
Lurker, here. I see some topics here about non-Japanese paying taxes in Japan on foreign income, foreign capital gains, and foreign inheritance. ... Imagine being an american (in america) and asking a similar question--i.e., the US would not only go after those things, they'd nail you to the wall i...

Re: Need advice: take profits?
If you transfer assets, you have to account for them, calculate the capital gain, and pay capital gains tax , and if over the Gift tax Threshold, the child would have to pay pay Gift Tax, as if you had sold the assets, paid the Capital Gains Tax, transferred the cash, paid Gift Tax, and then repurc...

Re: Investing in stocks through Interactive Brokers
Are you trying for the British version of vanguard ETFs (assuming there is one), or the US?
Eg, ask if you can buy VOO.

Re: For US folks - new ID.me vs ssa.gov login
I'm not sure about using ID.me for SSA login, versus the 'regular' way you mention, so this is not a direct answer to your question. But I did create an ID.me account for IRS purposes a couple months ago--photos of suitable IDs submitted, then a video call to confirm those, and setup did get done. ...

Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
... So immigration would just need to design a system which automatically flags up bad pension, health insurance, tax records. ... I guess that's sort of my point--why would immigrations need to design it? Shouldn't those other agencies/entities be doing their own respective parts? Or instead of im...

Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
So immigrations would be relying on the tax offices (national and city halls), and the pension agency, and I guess city halls again for health insurance payments, to notify them of delinquencies? As PR, I renew my residence card, a trivial thing, something like every seven years. Would I now need to...

Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
... As pension, tax, and health insurance is already merged with MyNumber, when immigration merges, I guess it would be pretty easy for them to develop a system that extracts all residence card numbers, and then automatically flags up any with a bad pension record, or or missed payments for health ...

Summary of taxation rights under Japan's tax treaties
Since some US/Japan treaty articles were being discussed here (separate thread), it's interesting that this just came up--newly added to the (reddit) JapanFinance wiki. Nicely done in table form:
Summary of taxation rights under Japan's tax treaties
And, the thread announcing this.
