How to reduce paying income tax?

[Cracaphat]

Thanks RJ and zeroshiki for your suggestions. That セフティ共済 was the first time to hear of. Been wondering from time about the Nozei too.

I would max out iDeCo and the small medium business scheme first before looking at the safety kyosai thing.

Thanx RJ. Will probably look to do that first for sure.

Do you earn a salary?

Self-employed, so kinda.

At a company you own? Or sole proprietor? Sole proprietors don't get the employment income deduction, to my understanding. You need "employment income" as an executive or employee of a company.

Am a sole proprietor. Thanx for letting me know.
