Impuestos y cumplimiento

Resident treatment: NTA classifies taxpayers by resident status (resident/non-resident; permanent/non-permanent among residents). Residents are taxed on Japan-source income and, for permanent residents, worldwide income; non-permanent residents are taxed on foreign income when paid in or remitted to Japan. Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed only on Japan-source income. Assumptions: tax_residency_trigger_days is null because NTA residence is based on domicile/place of residence (not a simple statutory day trigger in the cited guidance); effective PIT uses the top national income-tax bracket (45%); employee_social_contribution_rate_pct is null because no single national employee percentage applies uniformly across all compulsory schemes, age bands, and local insurance rates. Confidence: high for residency/PIT/VAT; medium overall due social-rate comparability limits.

Costo e infraestructura

  • Monthly cost baseline: $1,231
  • Rent (1BR city center): $660
  • Internet: $31
  • Coworking: Data not published

Method: poor=single-without-rent+1BR outside center+utilities+internet; average=single including rent (published); comfortable=single-without-rent+1BR city-center+utilities+internet. Computed baselines (USD/month): poor=1265.6, average=1231.0, comfortable=1510.6. Source-date: TheLivingCost country page retrieved 2026-02-27 (page does not expose a clear dataset update timestamp). monthly_coworking_usd is null because TheLivingCost does not publish a country-level coworking benchmark and no official national statistical series was located. Confidence: medium (consistent secondary dataset, limited methodology transparency).
