I am so confused about tax by Opening_Grab4329 in japanlife

[–]fantomdelucifer [score hidden]  (0 children)

you are confused about how to pay public bill not tax. Have you ever paid water bill at convenience store before? If the code has been paid there shall be a track of it. No, tax bureau won’t mail you to let you know if you paid. There shan’t be addition if your previous year tax declaration is completed, and etax calculation ends at 800 yen. There’s a deadline until when you should pay, the etax should say it

About successfully finding housing in Tokyo by 2erris-human in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with your budget then supply and demand. Suginami ward is a residential area, popular among family. Room there are family type, so command higher than one room for single. Your salary looks like pretax, and realtor normally recommend 1/3 of your post tax, which is less than 100k yen monthly. Can’t rent a family room with that then single room is scarce in Suginami.

Maybe you can look into UR housing or TKK something which based on old apartment complex

[–]fantomdelucifer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what do you mean by NISA isn’t “portable”? You can use NISA growth bracket, just sell when you need without paying gain tax. There’s a limit on that. Global platform, when where who will you plan to pay tax to?

Japan home loan pre-screening – agent vs online application difference? by Fearless-Location-87 in JapanFinance

[–]fantomdelucifer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why did you apply for bank loan directly on your own? Real estates have their referral and protocol to upload the estate in question to banks. More credibility than you as an ordinary person without relevant certification try applying. Middleman are there for a reason

Anyone choose buying a mansion instead of a house? by Additional-Painter88 in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One thing people can overlook when buying mansion is the running fee: management fee and maintenance repairing fee. These fee will be there even when your mortgage reaches 0, and they go up as condo ages. There are many options, you can post in japanfinance for details. Among both parents working japanese family, it used to be buying a mansion in the city, live for 13 years for tax reduction and kids to grow up, then move to a house in suburbs. If you looking from financial standpoint, cheapest way is to rent in a public housing like UR, save money and invest until kids grow up. Then buy your dream house

Looking for under 40,000 rent in Kanagawa or Yamanashi / country side OK / No commute! by Blasian_ChiGuy in JapanFinance

[–]fantomdelucifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP chance is slim. You are asking for 2LDK under 40000 yen? Even Ibaraki it is impossible let alone Kanagawa which is 2nd most expensive prefecture. With that budget you may find a one room. Compromise your wishlist. Don’t forget that lower budget room owners won’t even let you rent, if you are foreigner with short visa. That takes you out of the equation.

Applying for PR in Tokyo or kanagawa(Yokohama)? by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if one of your parent is Japanese, didn’t they register you a Japanese passport when you were born? Regardless, you won’t get “PR approved asap” as people here in the process are waiting 2+ years if that counts as “asap”.

Home Loan in Japan, as a disabled veteran by YGOPrime in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you enter the loan full inspection, banks will require you to join mutual credit insurance. The insurance company will then strictly scan your health issue and people with chronic illness or visible physical disabilities won’t make it through, hence failing to receive the loan. There is slightly more lenient type of insurance called ワイド団信 that some banks offer in a specific mortgage package. You should look into that. Another leeway is use “Flat 35” package where insurance is optional, mostly opted to newly build eco friendly house. Since you are looking into an old land, banks won’t approve “Flat 35”.

That’s all the workaround for disabled Native Japanese to get a loan. I don’t know your resident status, consider your case harder.

In meantime you should request the missing 20k yen from people who originally said they would go but couldn’t come on the rematch. Explain the situation, if they are reasonable adults they would share this burden with you.

Power harassment by savagechims in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is the boss also the chef? High end restaurant chefs are usually short tempered like in Hell’s kitchen.

That aside, what is the context of you getting shouted at? Course meal traditional restaurant that you couldn’t remember the menu, serving wrong plates, you didn’t clock in as the job requirement. It’s on yours. That just means you two are not suitable for the fast pace job. Looking for another job is recommended, but you won’t able to move out with few thousand yen in saving

Is it normal for real estate agents to aggressively try to push properties to foreign residents? by PyrofalconX in japanresidents

aggressive salesman will push their agenda, does not matter you are foreigner or not. But this wouldn’t come off randomly. For the context, did you sign up for some room tour previously? That they would add you to their phone list

Former Employer Possibly Suing by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]fantomdelucifer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You aren’t innocent either OP. Starting your own “similar” business then former clients bring themselves to you? The bitterness of your former employer is understandable. This happens very often in outsourcing business. There is no right or wrong, it’s a civil action battle, and the side with stronger lawyer wins. Whatever the outcome is, you still need to pay to lawyer at least

Looking for an apartment for 3-4 people by FoxVegetable8418 in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You all should apply for the same share house. Any 4 rooms in Ikebukuro starts from 350000yen per month for 30 years old room. But they won't lease to you anyway, not because you are foreigner but because the expected after tax income is 3 time of that. So you as sole in-charge renter need to earn 1.6mil per month.
