Re: Professional Indemnity Insurance

Has anyone tried this one for PI insurance, and if so is this an acceptable PI insurance for freelancing?

Professional Indemnity Insurance

I am looking for basic Professional Indemnity Insurance coverage up to 10Mil JPY cover.

Casual side work, independent of current employer. I do not have a registered business here anymore.

Any suggestions?

Re: How is Australian Superannuation treated?

would a more simple way to look at how australian super is taxed in japan is to just consider it as comparable to a local salary and thereby x taken as tax? or is tax a little lighter during retirement years?_

Re: How is Australian Superannuation treated?

I did not fare well from own calculations from all this and I appreciate that it probably is very much a case by case situation. However, just hypothetically, if I was to target the following drawings from Super each year in retirement, ignoring currency exchange rate ups and downs, what would be th...

Re: Withholding Tax & Consumption Tax

Sorry for the explanation. "X - 10.21%", is correct and how I invoiced.

I get paid X and the company has been paying the withholding tax on my behalf to the tax department. I have only ever had to pay a nominal difference at the end of each year aft...

Every month, I issue an invoice that includes a withholding tax amount. I am paid the difference. Every year,...
