Tax residency

Japan tax — non-permanent resident

The non-permanent-resident tax category applies to non-Japanese residents whose periods of domicile or residence in Japan total no more than five years in the past ten years. Those periods can include time abroad. A reminder based on 1,826 physical days is only an approximation.
