Crushing season edition
Every year February surprises me with how unrelenting it is work-wise. Around this point I find myself drowning in deadlines and things that absolutely need to be done already, but that I have no idea when I am going to be able to look at.
The first thing that tends to go is my inbox, so if you have not heard back from me and need to, do feel free to send a reminder.
Hope everyone else is doing better!
The forum was pretty active this week:
This week a new community launched on reddit that I think you might be interested in. Started by some very knowledgeable people, r/JapanFinance is one of the best places to ask complex tax questions. Go and check it out!
