Money guides for people
building a life in Japan.
Japan’s financial system is full of rules that rarely get explained in English — from how pension contributions carry over, to what actually happens to your taxes the year you leave.
We turn official sources — the National Tax Agency, Japan Pension Service and MHLW — into guides you can actually act on, in English and Korean.
What we cover
Information, not advice.
Every article on TheFinExpat is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional tax or financial advice. Rules change and individual situations vary — always confirm details with a licensed tax accountant (zeirishi) or the relevant government office before filing or making a financial decision.
TheFinExpat의 모든 글은 정보 제공을 목적으로 하며, 투자자문이나 세무자문을 대체하지 않습니다. 실제 신청 · 신고 전에는 관할 기관의 최신 공지를 확인해주세요.
Joe
Joe writes TheFinExpat from Fukuoka, Japan. Every figure and rule in these guides is checked against the issuing body’s own documents — Japan’s National Tax Agency, e-Gov law texts, the Japan Pension Service, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Immigration Services Agency — and linked in each article’s Sources box. Joe is not a licensed tax accountant (zeirishi) or administrative scrivener (gyoseishoshi); everything here is general information, not personal advice.
