I'm a permanent resident of Japan. On my Japanese tax return for this year, I will have to report capital gains from the sale of some US stock. All I can find online is information saying that capital gains from the sale of overseas stock is reported "separately from ordinary income" in Japan and is also subject to "separate taxation". Fair enough. I called the National Tax Agency information hotline for further information, but they were of no help. Next I'll try my local office for advice.
In the meantime, does anyone know about this (eg: Which Japanese tax form(s) to use? What the tax rates are -- both national and local -- for capital gains on overseas stock? etc.)
I'll probably end up having to go to a Japanese tax professional for help, but in the meantime I want to try to understand what I'm up against, and also try to learn the related vocabulary in Japanese.
