I don't know why you are currently not having tax withheld. I would suggest you first raise that question with your Broker. Then, you would need to contact the ATO, point out that you are resident in Japan for Tax Purposes and therefore are covered by Article 10 Paragraph 2(b) and Article 11, and u...

I tried just entering the foreign dividends in the 外国税額控除 section along with the interest, and it calculated my foreign tax credit as 3,700 yen, which is far lower than what I got when doing the calculation in Excel. unborderedlife, Does the treaty to avoid double taxation between Japan and Austral...

Hi, sorry I just saw this as I am once again doing my taxes and confronted with the same issue. Are you saying that Japan will only provide a Foreign Tax Credit for tax paid in Australia to a maximum of 10%, regardless of how much tax I actually paid? Assuming that is so, the Foreign Tax Credit calc...

Keep in mind that you can only make appointments between 2 to 10 days in advance. I tried last night to make an appointment for today, but couldn't select the date as it was less than 2 days away. I just fronted up today (around 1:30pm) anyway, and there wasn't too much waiting time (maybe 15 mins)....

So if you are currently in Tax level that is more than 20.315%, 申告分離課税 is better, if you are lower 総合課税 is better. Got it, that makes sense. That is correct. It...

Thanks mule96, I did go through that screen repeatedly but your explanation helps. Is there a reason by I should select 申告分離課税 as opposed to 総合課税? So say I select 申告分離課税 and manually enter my Australian dividend income (converted to yen) under １ 上場株式等の配当等に関する事項. (I don't have a Japanese 配当等の支払通知書 as...

Thanks for the detailed response but I'm just getting more confused :lol: My situation isn't too complicated; I just can't see where to enter the foreign dividends since the section in 収入金額 seems to only refer to securities on the Japanese stock market. All my Japanese securities are either in NISA ...

Cheers, thanks for the confirmation on both counts. How about income that already has had tax withheld (i.e. dividends in the 特定口座 and Japanese bank interest). Can they also be omitted from the tax return and thus the formula above? I think there are two different ways your dividends can be reporte...

1. When calculating the amount of income tax for the year {A}, should it be based on the gross income OR adjusted income with all deductions (health insurance, earthquake insurance, basic deduction, etc.) already subtracted (as shown on the end of year slip)? I just checked the calculation on my fo...
