Living Q & A: I'm a food delivery courier and self-employed. What happens with my tax?
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「配達員として働いているが、個人事業と言われた。税金の申告はどうなる？」

I work as a food delivery courier. It seems that under the contract with the food delivery company, I'm considered aself-employed sole proprietor. If that's the case, do I have to declare my income for tax?

If you are working as a sole proprietor (kojin jigyō-sha / 個人事業者), you are required to declare your tax yourself. You will need to give a
declaration for your income for the year from January to December.
Generally, you subtract the necessary expenses incurred as part of your work from your total earnings (shūnyū / 収入), and what's left will be
your income (shotoku / 所得). Subtract any applicable exemptions or deductions (shotoku kōjo / 所得控除) from your income to get yourtaxable income (kazei shotoku / 課税所得). If you don't actually have any taxable income, you don't need to make a declaration of your income
tax.
In addition to the basic deduction of 480,000 Yen, deductions for such items as social insurance payments, spouse, dependents, and medical
treatment expenses might also be applied by subtracting them from your income to calculate your taxable income. Your taxable income is used
to calculate your income tax (shotoku-zei / 所得税), but additional tax credit (zeigaku kōjo / 税額控除) might also be deducted from your income
tax amount. For more information on submitting a final income tax declaration (kakutei shinkoku / 確定申告), we advise you to consult a tax
office (zeimusho / 税務署).
Resident tax (jūminzei / 住民税), which is comprised of municipal resident tax and prefectural resident tax, does not require you to submit adeclaration of your income if you have already submitted a final income tax declaration. Your resident tax will be calculated based on the content
of your final income tax declaration.
It should be noted that even if you are not required to submit a final income tax declaration, your amount of taxable income for resident tax may
still be calculated, so please consult your municipal office. In addition, in the case of foreign residents, you may be required to provide a
certificate of taxation (kazei shōmeisho / 課税証明書) or certificate of tax payment (nōzei shōmeisho / 納税証明書) when submitting
applications for immigration-related procedures; so even if you are not subjected to resident tax, you should still submit a declaration forresident tax.

Read Place Names: Hoshizaki

地名を読もう「星崎」On the west side of the Meitetsu Nagoya Line in Minami Ward, just before it crosses the Tempaku andOgi rivers into Midori Ward, are a number of adjoining areas sharing the name Hoshizaki (Hoshizaki
1-chome and 2-chome, Hoshizaki-cho, and Moto Hoshizaki-cho), and serviced by Moto Hoshizaki
Station.

星

hoshi (star; planet; heavenly body)崎saki / zaki (cape; promontory; small peninsula)

The 崎 / zaki part of the name suggests that the area was once coastline, which may be difficult for
present-day visitors to imagine given that the area is a few kilometers inland from the waters of Nagoya
Port and Ise Bay. But this character serves as a reminder of local topography before the extensive land
reclamation that has taken place as the port and surrounding areas developed.
星 / hoshi will probably evoke visions of starry skies that local residents and travelers may have enjoyedthere in the days before industrialization. But rather than the spectacle of the Milky Way, the 'star' may
actually refer to meteorites that are said to have fallen in the area.

In 635, during the reign of Emperor Jomei (629-641), a comet is said to have appeared, and asubsequent drought that year resulted in many deaths. A falling 'star' two years later caused somethingof a flurry, and the villagers are said to have built the Hoshinomiya Shrine (星宮社) to enshrine the fallencelestial object. Given its location at what was then the southernmost point of a promontory, the shrine
lanterns lit by the villagers are said to have also served as beacons for water faring vessels.
In 1632, villager Murase Rokubee is said to have been extracting salt from seawater when he heard a
tremendous noise and saw a fireball fall from the sky. The meteorite was passed down throughgenerations of the Murase family, and donated to Yobitsugi Shrine (喚續神社) in 1892, and has eversince been enshrined as an important treasure of the shrine. Known as the Minamino Meteorite (南野隕石), an analysis carried out in 1976 confirmed the rock's extraterrestrial origins, making it the second
oldest confirmed meteorite discovered in Japan.

「ボテロ展 ふくよかな魔法」

Colombian artist Fernando Botero (b. 1932)began to garner attention from the late 1950s,
and is today one of the representative artists ofthe modern era.
When depicted by Botero, musical instruments,
fruit, animals, even the Mona Lisa appear roundand plump. The rich forms of the well-rounded
subjects of Botero's works, as the artist says,"impart a stirring sensuality within the viewer",while combining humor, irony and various otherelements with a charm that inspires raw joy.
The works of Botero continue to fascinate
viewers in museums around the world. Compiled
under the supervision of the now 90-year-old artist, this exhibition presents
70 oil paintings, watercolors and sketches (including some being exhibitedfor the first time in the world) from early works through to those from recent
years. Witness with your own eyes the magic in Botero's chubby forms.

The Polyphony of Function and Decoration「機能と装飾のポリフォニー」

The 1910s to the 1930s was atime when various forms of'modern' emerged in western
Europe and other parts of theworld, including Japan.
While 'modernism' based onfunctionalism is still regarded as
the central trend of the time, thisera of mass consumerism wasalso one of ephemeral 'modernity'in which value was placed on
decoration in order to maintain aconstant sense of the new. These
two opposing forms of 'modern'actually contained a number ofother 'modern' forms which
created a dense period throughAtelier Martine / Rosine, True Eau de Cologne
their intricate interrelations.

Artists of the time shared
information simultaneously, synchronizing across countries and genres, inworks encompassing everything from painting and sculpture to furniture,
tableware and clothing, and even the architecture and cities that housed
them; in other words, all of our living spaces and physical activities.
This exhibition introduces the various forms of 'modern' that artists
explored, sometimes intersecting and resonating with one another as in a
polyphony, in their rapidly changing society.

Grand Sumo Tournament in Nagoya
Have you ever seen sumo?
Sumo is Japan’s national sport.
Originating as a Shinto ritual forgood harvests, sumo became asystematized popular entertainment
at the beginning of the Edo era(1603-1868). Nowadays, more than
600 sumo wrestlers belonging to 43
sumo heya (部屋, stables), take partin 6 grand tournaments (3 in Tokyo,
1 each in Osaka, Nagoya andFukuoka) which last for 15 days.
Sumo wrestlers are divided into 6
divisions hierarchically from the lowest Jonokuchi (序の口) freshman division to
Makuuchi (幕内), the top division. The highest-ranked sumo wrestler is called
Yokozuna (横綱), the grand champion, followed in descending order by Ozeki(大関), Sekiwake (関脇) and Komusubi (小結).

When you come across a sumo
wrestler on the subway or thestreet, it means that the Nagoya
Tournament is coming soon.
Sumo stables prepare for the
tournament, staying at various
places in Aichi Prefecture.
A colorful flag called nobori (のぼり) shows the names of thestable and its wrestlers. The front entrance of the venue,
Dolphins Arena (Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium) is also linedwith these flags.
Tickets are available via the Nihon Sumo Kyokai website.
You can spend a whole day from 8:30 to 18:00, watchingsumo. We are sure that you will experience an atmospherequite different from the TV-broadcast sumo.
