Do Working Holiday Visa holders pay tax in Japan?
Yes. The tax rules depend on whether you are considered a tax resident or non-resident of Japan. Most Working Holiday Visa holders are initially treated as non-residents, but your tax status may change if you stay in Japan for more than one year. Understanding these rules is particularly important if you earn overseas income or remit money to Japan.
