An observation as an aspiring Dangerous Professional: There are few things more "official" than an accepted tax return. This is an *informal* truth of the system. Tax agencies are broadly supportive of receiving more tax returns. No bureaucrat wants to call the taxman a liar.

A subtext of this conversation is that there is another agency which might theoretically speaking be *more* competent to issue an opinion as to what a certain status of residence would permit you to do, but they have no incentive to *ever* confirm "Yeah, legal.", where Tax does.

I will observe in addition that tax returns either have a "remarks" free-text field or support, by law and custom, annexing additional pages of documents to the tax return, which by such action become part of the tax return that was accepted by the tax agency *hums meaningfully*

I am curious about Japanese tax compliance. Are you in full time employment with stripe or is that structured as a contract/small business? I read somewhere that employees in Japan don't file tax returns unless its above a threshold. For the majority, withholding suffices.

I work for Stripe Japan, K.K., in the traditional manner for professional employees. We pay smart people, then listen to them, about the right way to do things. I do run a small business and have for 10+ years here; lots of stories, of which this is one (from ~2010).

Wait. I thought taxes are filled for the last year and the deadline is sometime in march? Is it different for sole proprietors? I concur on the official part. Immigration was happy to receive my tax returns.
