Hi,
In another thread discussing how to apply for spouse visa (which I will be doing soon) it was advised to transition as soon as possible from spouse visa to PR (permanent residence).
However I have found out the following negative tax implications (for my situation at least) about becoming PR sooner than I have to:
An expatriate resident taxpayer, who has no Japanese nationality and has lived in Japan for 60 months or less in the past 10 years, is classified as a non-permanent resident taxpayer. These individuals are subject to Japanese income taxes on income sourced in Japan plus any portion of non-Japan sourced income that is paid in and/or remitted to Japan. The expatriate resident taxpayer becomes a permanent resident after the 60 months of residency in Japan.
A permanent resident taxpayer is subject to Japanese income taxes on his or her worldwide income.
Because I would be negatively affected regarding tax payments if I transition to PR sooner than I have to, may I know what are the advantages of becoming PA so I can make an informed decision, thanks
