On January 21, 2024, our fourth community event was about how to claim foreign tax credit on your Japanese tax return to avoid double taxation and how to file Japanese taxes in general. We went over how residence status affects the types of income that should be reported on your Japanese tax return, deductions you can claim, required documents, and questions from our attendees.
As the FreedomTax team we would love for you to you experience a worry-free tax season where you are comfortable with your taxes. We hope you find this material useful. If you have any feedback or ideas for next sessions, we would love to hear from you!
