People such as independent business proprietors, farmers and freelancers must calculate their income
earned over the one-year period from 1 January to 31 December of the preceding year, calculate theamount of tax to be levied on this sum and file their income tax returns. However, this is not necessary
for the majority of salary income earners.
However, salary income earners too will have to file income tax returns in some cases, for example:
・In cases where the person’s yearly income from his or her salary is more than 20 million yen
・In cases where the person’s salary is paid at more than two places
A copy of the income tax returns can in some cases be necessary when extending or changing status ofresidence, for example, so you should keep hold of a copy.
* In the event that you have a dependent in your own country, you can receive a deduction for
dependents. Therefore, even if you are a salary income earner but are not receiving a deduction for
dependents, you should file your income tax returns and then receive a tax refund.
