Should I consult a Japanese tax accountant before moving to Japan from the United States?
Yes. In many cases, international tax planning before becoming a Japanese tax resident is much easier than correcting tax issues afterward.
Reviewing your investments, retirement accounts, remittance plans, and tax residency status before relocating can often reduce future tax risks. A taxation consultant in Japan can also help you understand how your U.S. income and assets may be treated under the Japanese tax system.
