Japan Tax Checker Turns 確定申告 Into a Short Questionnaire
A free English-language tool that estimates whether a foreign resident in Japan needs to file a tax return.
Field notes
The questionnaire branches first on residency and income structure, then checks thresholds and filing triggers such as side income above ¥200,000, salary above ¥20,000,000, medical-expense deductions, furusato nozei, and non-withheld investment gains. It covers both the obligation to file and the possibility of a refund. The site identifies its reference frame as National Tax Agency guidance for the 2025–2026 filing context and supplies links for topics including leaving Japan and freelancer taxes.
