Answers:

1. Not American, fortunately.

2. Tax Withholding if I'm not mistaken. Based on the list you shared I guess my IBKR account in my home country isn't suitable.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So, what options would I have if I wanted to trade stocks while living in Japan?

Just get a broker, trade, submit earnings to the tax office yearly, rinse repeat?

Is there an option to actively day trade stocks and benefit from the tax free initiative?

If yes, which broker will offer the most tickers and spreads and where can I find some information to read about this. Thanks.
