I. Overview of the Pension System Reform Bill and Implementation Dates

According to the official website of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the proposed amendments cover a wide range of areas, with the main points outlined as follows:

1. Expansion of social insurance coverage (removal of the 1.06 million yen income cap)
2. Revision of the in-employment old-age pension system
3. Changes to the survivor’s pension system
4. Increase in the wage cap used to calculate premiums and pension amounts
5. Revision of the child addition benefit

It’s important to note that each of these changes has a different scheduled implementation date.

Regarding the purpose of the reform, the Ministry explains:
“The aim is to strengthen the functions of the pension system in light of social and economic changes by creating a system that is neutral to working styles and gender differences, and responsive to the diversification of lifestyles and family structures. At the same time, the reform seeks to ensure financial stability in old age through enhanced income redistribution and the expansion of private pension systems.”

1. Expansion of Social Insurance Coverage (Removal of the 1.06 Million Yen Income Cap)

The government is reviewing the eligibility requirements for enrollment in Employees’ Pension Insurance and Health Insurance for part-time workers at small and medium-sized enterprises and for those working at sole proprietorships.

Until now, the conditions for part-time and short-hour workers to join social insurance included prescribed weekly working hours, monthly wages of 88,000 yen or more, employment at companies with more than 50 employees, and not being a student.

Under the current revision, these requirements will be simplified.

Specifically, the “wage requirement” (monthly earnings of 88,000 yen or more) will be abolished. This change responds to concerns over the so-called “1.06 million yen annual income barrier.” The timing of enforcement will be decided by a government ordinance within three years after the law is promulgated, based on the situation of regional minimum wage increases across the country.

In other words, once the wage requirement is removed, anyone working 20 hours or more per week will be eligible for social insurance coverage. However, since minimum wages continue to rise, trying to earn less than 88,000 yen per month while working 20 hours or more would mean earning an hourly wage of 1,015 yen or less. Considering ongoing minimum wage increases, this effectively means the wage requirement has already been practically abolished.

Next, the company size requirement will be gradually eliminated. Currently, only part-time workers at companies above a certain size are eligible for social insurance. This will be phased out over 10 years, so that ultimately, part-time workers who work 20 hours or more per week will be covered regardless of their employer’s size.

The eligibility expansion schedule is as follows:

• Companies with 36 to 50 employees: from October 2027

• Companies with 21 to 35 employees: from October 2029

• Companies with 11 to 20 employees: from October 2032

• Companies with 10 or fewer employees: from October 2035

Additionally, the scope of sole proprietorships required to enroll in social insurance will be broadened.

Currently, only sole proprietorships employing five or more people in 17 legally designated industries are subject to social insurance. From October 2029, in principle, all sole proprietorships employing five or more people will be subject to coverage, regardless of industry.

However, transitional measures will exclude existing businesses at the time of enforcement in October 2029 for a certain period.

Support measures for newly covered individuals and employers are also being considered, but it should be noted that these may be temporary.

As support for employers, a program is being considered to provide career advancement subsidies (up to 750,000 yen per employee) to those who increase employee income through longer working hours or wage raises. This is planned for implementation within fiscal 2025.

For workers, a special, temporary transitional measure will be introduced to reduce their insurance premium burden to a government-set ratio for three years, aiming to reduce adjustments in working hours to avoid insurance costs.

2. Revision of the In-Employment Old-Age Pension System

With the increasing number of elderly people working while receiving pensions and to address labor shortages, the government will revise the in-employment old-age pension system.

The in-employment old-age pension system reduces pension payments for elderly workers who earn a certain level of wages. Under the current system, if the combined amount of an elderly worker’s monthly wages (including one-twelfth of annual bonuses) and their Employees’ Pension exceeds 500,000 yen, half of the excess amount is deducted (pension payment is reduced).

Under the proposed revision, the income threshold for pension reduction will be raised from the current 500,000 yen to 620,000 yen. This new threshold is designed with the assumption of individuals who continue working while receiving a pension and earn wages comparable to the average salary of people in their 50s.

This revision is scheduled to take effect from April 2026.

3. Revision of the Survivor’s Pension

The survivor’s pension is a pension received by surviving family members when a person insured under the Employees’ Pension Insurance or the National Pension system passes away. There are two types of survivor’s pensions: the Basic Survivor’s Pension (遺族基礎年金) and the Employees’ Survivor’s Pension (遺族厚生年金), which differ in eligibility requirements and who qualifies as a beneficiary.

The main goal of revising the Employees’ Survivor’s Pension is to eliminate gender disparities. Under the current system, there were differences between men and women regarding the eligibility conditions and benefit periods for spouses without children to receive the Employees’ Survivor’s Pension.

Under the revised system, spouses without children who are under 60 years old (wives or husbands between the ages of 20 and 50 without children under 18) will generally be eligible for a fixed-term benefit for five years. Additionally, men under 55 without children, who were previously excluded, will become newly eligible.

The system will also consider fixed-term beneficiaries by, for example, increasing old-age Employees’ Pension benefits through death-related pension division and introducing a new fixed-term benefit supplement. The income requirement will be removed, allowing recipients to receive benefits regardless of their earnings.

If necessary, there will be mechanisms to continue benefits beyond the five-year period. Those who already have the right to receive benefits, elderly people aged 60 or older, and spouses aged 20 to 50 with children under 18 will maintain their current benefit conditions. These changes will be phased in over 20 years starting from April 2028.

Regarding the Basic Survivor’s Pension, it will be revised so that children can receive benefits regardless of the circumstances of the caregiver.

This means that children eligible for the Basic Survivor’s Pension will be able to receive it without being affected by factors such as the remarriage of the surviving parent, the parent’s income exceeding the threshold, the child being adopted by a direct relative or similar, or the child being taken in by a former spouse after the parent’s death.

4. Raising the Wage Cap Used for Calculating Insurance Premiums and Pension Amounts

In the Employees’ Pension Insurance system, insurance premiums and pension amounts are basically calculated based on wages (remuneration). However, there is an upper limit set on the “standard monthly remuneration” used as the basis for these calculations.

Currently, the upper limit for the standard monthly remuneration is 650,000 yen. For those earning wages above this limit, the effective insurance premium rate relative to their actual wages has been lower.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare explains the purpose of this revision as: “to ensure contributions are made in accordance with wages and to enhance future pension benefits.”

Specifically, the upper limit of the standard monthly remuneration will be raised in stages. It will increase from the current 650,000 yen to 680,000 yen (starting September 2027), then 710,000 yen (September 2028), and finally 750,000 yen (September 2029).

While insurance premiums for individuals and companies falling under the new upper limits will increase, future pension benefits will also rise accordingly.

5. Revision of the Child Addition

The pension system includes a provision to increase the pension amount for pension recipients who are raising children. Under the current system, pension recipients with children already receive this addition, but the upcoming revision will raise the amount of the child addition.

Currently, based on the fiscal year 2024 annual amounts, the addition is 234,800 yen per year for the first and second child, and 78,300 yen per year for the third child and beyond. After the revision, the addition will be a uniform 281,700 yen per year for each child. This increase will apply also to those who are currently receiving pensions.

In addition, people who currently receive only the old-age basic pension, which did not include a child addition, will also become eligible for this addition. These revisions are scheduled to take effect from April 2028.

II. Other Major Revisions

In addition to the main revisions mentioned above, there are several other changes.

1. Revision of the Private Pension System

Regarding the individual-type defined contribution pension plan (iDeCo), under the current system, only National Pension insured persons who are not yet receiving the old-age basic pension or old-age benefits from iDeCo can join. Due to differences in working styles, there are variations in the upper age limits for joining.

To create a simpler and more understandable system, the eligibility requirements will be expanded. Specifically, the revision plans to allow people aged 60 and over but under 70—who wish to continue using iDeCo for building retirement assets and who are not yet receiving the old-age basic pension or iDeCo old-age benefits—to join or continue contributions to iDeCo.

2. Revision of the Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment System

The Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment system is designed with the specific circumstances of foreigners in mind, who often have short stays in Japan and whose insurance premium payments may not easily lead to receiving old-age pension benefits. The payment is made as a lump sum based on the insured period (with a current maximum payment period of 5 years), and receiving this payment cancels the insured period accrued up to that point.

However, considering the trend of longer stays by foreigners, there is discussion about raising the maximum payment period from the current 5 years to 8 years. Additionally, for foreigners who may spend their old age in Japan, if they leave the country with a re-entry permit, they will not be able to claim the Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment during the validity period of that permit.

3. Allowing Deferment of Old-Age Pension for Survivors’ Employees’ Pension Recipients

Until now, people receiving survivors’ employees’ pension (遺族厚生年金) were not allowed to defer the receipt of their own old-age pension. However, considering the increased employment of elderly people and from the perspective of allowing them the option to increase their pension benefits, it is planned to permit survivors’ employees’ pension recipients to apply for deferment of their old-age pension benefits. This revision is scheduled to be implemented in April 2028.

4. Extension of the National Pension Payment Deferral System

Until June 2030, eligibility for the deferral system has been determined based on the income of the individual and their spouse, regardless of the income of the household head they live with. This system allows for the deferred payments to be made later when the individual is actually able to pay the insurance premiums.

This time, the limited-time measure will be extended for an additional five years, allowing use of the system until June 2035.

5. Expansion of Eligibility for Voluntary Enrollment in the National Pension for Older Adults

For those without entitlement to the old-age basic pension, the system allowing voluntary enrollment in the National Pension after age 65 until the required qualification period is met will be expanded. The eligible birthdate range will be extended to include people born up to April 1, 1975, and the system will be extended accordingly.

6. Extension of the Deadline for Requesting Division of Pension Rights at Divorce

The deadline for requesting division of the Employees’ Pension Insurance records at the time of divorce will be extended from 2 years to 5 years. This change is in line with the extension of the statute of limitations for property division claims under civil law.

Tax Refund and Tax Deduction When Attending Furusato nozei

Furusato nozei is not basically a type of tax to pay, instead, it’s a regime in which the residents can distribute their effort in building and developing local regions in Japan through personal monetary donations. In addition, they will also get back the local specialties, like fruits, food, and others, from that locality as a thank-you gift.

However, when engaging in the Furusato nozei, have you ever wondered about the amount of reduced income tax or whether you can get a residence tax refund in Japan?

As a result, in this blog, we will take a further look at the regulations for a tax deduction and refund for Furusato nozei’s participants.

What can you receive when taking part in Furusato nozei?

Besides the thank-you gifts which the local regions give you, you can also get a residence tax deduction according to the amount of money you donated which will be subtracted from 2000 yen.

In addition, you may also be eligible for a refund of a portion of the individual income tax you have paid.

Types of tax deduction and tax refund in Japan in Furusato nozei

In general, there are two types of tax deduction and tax refund in Japan when a taxpayer decides to join the Furusato nozei regime.

• Contribution to up to 5 localities: If you attend Furusato nozei in more than 5 local regions, you will receive a residence tax deduction and individual income tax refund in Japan.
• Contribution to less than 5 localities: In contrast, if you make a contribution to no more than 5 localities, you will only get a residence tax deduction.

Normally, to get a residence tax deduction and income tax refund in Japan, Furusato nozei’s participants must file a tax declaration.

Individual income tax refund in Japan

As mentioned above, you can only get an individual income tax refund in Japan if you engage in Furusato nozei in up to 5 localities. Still, to get a tax refund in Japan, tax declaration procedures are required.

After filing a tax declaration, the refund money will be transferred to your bank account in around one month or one month and a half.

For instance, if you make the declaration procedures on February 15th, then the estimated time you will get your cashback will be at the beginning of March.

Residence tax deduction

First and foremost, you should make clear that individual income tax can be refunded; on the other hand, the residence tax cannot. Instead, it will only be deducted. 

In addition, the maximum amount of money deducted is basically based on your monthly income; hence, it will vary for different residents. At the limit, the tax deducted is calculated as the amount of monetary contribution minus 2000 yen. 

Besides, the deducted residence tax will be valid for the next year after you attend Furusato nozei. 

For instance, you register for Furusato nozei in 2017 and file for tax declaration procedures in February 2018. Then, the tax department will send your tax information to the locality. It also means you will get your residence tax deducted from June 2018 to May 2019.

Finally, when starting the residence tax collection in June, the local tax department will send you a notification form, where you can check the amount of tax deduction. Otherwise, you can check it out in the monthly salary form.

Final thoughts

In general, when attending the Furusato nozei regime, there are several benefits, as you can receive plenty of local gifts, a residence tax deduction, and an income tax refund in Japan.

We hope that all of the information above can help resolve some of your inquiries regarding tax deductions and a tax refund in Japan.

Comprehensive Requirements for Japan Tax Refund in 2022

In “How to Claim Your Income Tax Refund in Japan in 2022,” we show you what an income tax refund is, who is entitled to receive it, and what documents you need to send in an application.

Still, you may wonder if you have to follow any requirements with the documents to get your application accepted.

Hence, in this blog, we will delineate the detailed conditions for the documents you submit to successfully get a Japan tax return.

What is a japan tax refund?

A tax refund is a payment made to a taxpayer to cover any overpayments made to the state governments.

While refunds are frequently seen by taxpayers as a windfall or a lucky break, they frequently represent what amounts to an interest-free loan that the taxpayer paid to the government.

Why should you submit for a Japan tax refund?

Taxpayers receive refunds for a variety of reasons or may even owe the government money in some circumstances.

When too much money is withheld from their taxes, the taxpayer gets a refund at the end of the year. If you overspend your estimated taxes and are self-employed, you also receive a Japan tax refund. 

Still, you might think of this additional revenue as free money, but in reality, it’s more like a loan you gave the IRS without charging interest. If you overestimate your tax liability, you will owe money to the government.

However, you can only get a Japan tax refund if you’ve never applied for a tax reduction.

How can you submit for a Japan tax refund

If you’re a foreigner living in Japan for about one year, you can file and get your Japan tax return in two ways, through the tax department (Zeimusho) and local administration. Or, you can ask somebody for help.

Through the tax department (Zeimusho)

If you decide to handle this process on your own, you can conduct it on the Internet or directly come to the local Tax Department (Zeimusho) or People’s Committee according to where you currently live. They will show you detailed instructions to easily follow.

Ask for help

You can ask your company’s legal officer to apply for a Japan tax refund on your behalf. All you have to do is to provide them with adequate personal documents to make the procedure run smoothly.

Currently, one of the most trustworthy and top-rated services is that of HSB JAPAN. The staff will give you comprehensive assistance in submitting for a Japan tax refund as well as resolve any of your inquiries regarding this topic. 

Otherwise, you can join HSB JAPAN’s Facebook fan page to discuss more Japanese tax refunds and pensions with other foreigners residing in Japan.

Pay taxes in Japan

First and foremost, you must pay two types of taxes when living in Japan. They are individual income tax and residence tax. However, to do this, your annual income must be over 130,000 yen according to Japanese law and currency. Otherwise, you cannot pay taxes and receive a Japan tax return.

Prepare adequate documents to submit for a Japan tax refund

To claim a tax refund in Japan, you will be required to submit some obligatory documents. We will now list them out and explain to you why.

Resident card

You must submit a photocopy of your resident card with both the front and back sides.

It is extremely necessary as your resident card displays information about your name, address, length of stay, and other details. So, make sure you don’t forget this!

Gensen

Gensen, or gensenchoshuhyou, is a withholding tax slip in English.

Particularly, a gensen will be an extremely crucial document if you want to send in an application to get a Japan tax refund. It will display and prove your personal earnings and withheld taxes throughout the year.

In addition, there are some requirements related to your withholding tax slip that you should carefully prepare:

• You will not be able to get a Japan tax refund if gensen doesn’t show the amount of tax withheld from your salary.
• The picture of gensen must include full information (year, your company’s name and address, employee’s name, etc.)
• Only the gensen taken directly from your company is official accepted.

Remittance history

Remittances are money transfers to family or friends in your home countries. These payments play an important role in the lives of many people, supporting families and communities.

Therefore, if you want to apply for a Japan tax refund, you must include these documents as they will prove to the tax office the information you submitted. It includes who you sent remittances to, how much, and the date of transactions.

Moreover, the number of dependents you have also affects the amount of Japan tax refund you receive. For instance, with 1 dependent, you can get a tax refund for income tax at 19,300 Yen and residence tax at 35,500 Yen per year.

Birth Certificates

A birth certificate is a document that lists the full name, date of birth, place of birth, parent’s full name, and other identifying information of a person. It is typically issued by the government agency responsible for vital records. So, why do you need to submit your and your family members’ birth certificates?

That is to prove your relationship with the dependents. For instance, the tax office will check your parents’ information on your birth certificate if you send them remittances. 

However, some of the other tax offices may require you to submit your parents’ marriage certificate so that they can check for further validity.

Cash card bank certificates

When you are living in Japan, you can get a Japan tax refund of your individual income and residence tax by using a Cash Card.

To do this, after presenting your remittance history and passport to the Japanese Tax Office, you will be able to get a Japan tax refund and the money will be transferred to the bank account you submitted. 

Other requirements

Time for getting a Japan tax refund

If you’re looking to get a Japan tax refund, remember that the maximum amount of tax refund you can get is within the last 5 years. It means you can file for a Japan tax refund for each year separately, or you can just wait for about 5 years to withdraw a Japan tax refund in bulk.

If you have any questions about the tax refund process, or if you need help filing your return, contact us via the HSB JAPAN Website or Facebook, and we will answer all of your inquiries.

Remittances to dependents

If you have two or more dependents, you should send them remittances into separate bank accounts. Moreover, the name of the bank accounts must correspond with the dependents’ names you submitted.

In addition, you must have remittance receipts to get a Japan tax refund. It won’t be approved if you come back to your home country and give the money hand-in-hand to your dependents.

Although the more dependents you have to take care of, the more money you get back, you should not list too many dependents as it may be a sign of avoiding paying taxes. Instead, 4 dependents will be an appropriate number.

Final words

All in all, the process of withdrawing a Japan tax refund may not be as complicated and time-consuming as you might think. Just strictly follow the directions and you can get through it with ease. 

How to Claim Your Income Tax Refund in Japan in 2022

If you are foreigners who have lived in Japan for nearly a year, you may hear about the term “income tax refund” and wonder what it is and whether you are eligible to receive it.

This blog will give you a general understanding of income tax and how you can claim your income tax refund in Japan.

What is individual income tax in Japan?

First, you should know the definition of income tax because it’s one of the two main types of taxes you have to pay when living in Japan.

In general, income tax is the tax levied by the government depending on your annual income. Hence, the tax year is from January 1st to December 31st. Meanwhile, the due date for an income tax refund in Japan is normally on March 15th.

Particularly, the levy will be taken out of the paychecks of students, trainees, and workers for contracting businesses. If you are employed by a business without a written contract, you must self-declare your taxes and file them by March 15th.

Who has to pay income tax in Japan?

Everyone living in Japan must pay individual income tax according to law, except for people who have amounts of income below 130,000 yen per year.

On the other hand, other residents have to pay tax as follow:

• Permanent resident taxpayers: the tax is based on their income in Japan and nationwide.
• Non-permanent resident taxpayers: they are taxed on all of their income, excluding foreign-source income (including, potentially, certain capital gains) that is not paid into or remitted to Japan, as well as, potentially, a portion of their foreign-source income.

Who could be entitled to get an income tax refund in Japan?

In three situations, you are allowed to get an income tax refund in Japan.

• You have been a foreigner working in Japan for more than a year with an amount of income more than 130,000 yen per year.
• Your legal spouse is a Japanese person.
• You send remittances back to family dependents in your home country. The more dependents you have to take care of, the more income tax refund in Japan you receive.

How to claim your income tax refund in Japan

It is a significantly important step as we can show you how you can claim your income tax refund in Japan yearly. All you have to do is go to the tax office and prepare adequate documents, including:

1. A photocopy of your residence card (both front and back sides).

2. A photocopy of your last-year withholding tax slip. However, if you have two or more jobs, you need to submit the corresponding number of withholding tax slips to get the right amount of income tax refund in Japan.

3. Any necessary document that can clearly state your relationships with the dependents to whom you send remittances. For example, birth certificates, legal marriage contracts, and others.

4. Your regular remittance receipts

In addition, you have to give them your bank account to receive the income tax refund in Japan after a few weeks.

Finally, to get further information about the income tax refund in Japan in more detail, you can contact HSB JAPAN for full support and consultation.
