Tax season in Japan is NOW — and you might be able to get money back on medical costs. Your health insurance sends 医療費のお知らせ (いりょうひのおしらせ) — a summary of your hospital visits, treatments, total costs, and what insurance covered. If your annual medical expenses exceed ¥100,000, you can include the extra amount in your 確定申告 (kakuteishinkoku) and potentially receive a tax refund. Don’t miss this if you had big medical costs last year! 👉  Follow @gaijinpot.jobs for more news, fun insights, and tips about life in Japan 🇯🇵 #japanlife #JapanTaxes #livinginjapan #japanhacks #japantips

New to working in Japan and already confused about taxes? You’re not alone. The key thing to know is that Japan has two main tax returns: Tax Return A and Tax Return B, and which one you need depends on how you earn your income. If you’re a full-time employee with one job, no side income, and your company handles your year-end adjustment, you’re usually covered under Tax Return A and don’t need to file anything yourself. But if you freelance, have side income, work multiple jobs, or your employer doesn’t withhold taxes, you’ll likely need Tax Return B, which is typically filed by March 15. 🎥 Watch the full explainer on our YouTube channel via the link in our bio. 👉 Follow @gaijinpot for more practical tips on living, working, studying and surviving adult life in Japan. 🇯🇵
