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.

Re: Newbie Question
That ¥816,000 is the max yearly payout for someone who has made the full 40yrs of contributions. So on a monthly basis the max possible is ¥68,000 (even tho it's paid every other month, so you get two months' worth at a time). And once that gets going, 介護保険 will be subtracted as an auto deduction. T...

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: UK pension living in Japan
... I assume the taxable event will be "when the money is brought over to Japan?" ... I'd think it would be the date paid (received), and it would not matter that it stayed in the original currency that it was paid in, whether (when) it was transferred here, etc. This would be similar to ...

Even back in the late 70s, the US did not experience hyperinflation--and inflation was (much) higher for longer than the recent spike, in either the US or Japan. The glimmer of stagflation tha...
