Hello,

For my understanding, as a foreigner living here in Japan, I need to pay tax on capital gain if I own a stock in my home country ( not US ).
DO I need to pay capital gain tax on the stock if it is in a pension account in my home country?

Thanks

You do not need to pay capital gain tax on the stock if it is in a pension account in your home country, until you take a distribution from the pension account.

The method of taxation will depend on whether you take a Lump Sum, or the pension account provides monthly pension payments, or whether you purchase an Annuity which then pays monthly pension payments.
