I was in the tax office the other day, well it's a cheap day out:) and they gave me the english version of Japans tax laws. If I am reading it correctly which I may well not be, even in perfect English it's still as confusing as hell, the book says that up to 3million the rate is 10% 3 to 9 million its 20% then over that its 30%
BUT I am sure that I have always paid a flat 5% for the past 8 years. What gives?
Oh and to those that are interested, you don't seem to need residency to get the tax break on home loans. Worth about 20k a month, the guy in the office told me that I would get it regardless of whether I had residency. Of course as the conversation was in Japanese what he could of actually said was that my buttocks looked ripe and that he would luck to pat them. I cant say that my Japanese is ever that good that I am 100% confident that I have understood anything that has been said to me. But I left unpatted so I am presuming that I was fairly near the mark with my translation. |
