Hey everyone, I’m in Japan and my company agreed to cover 50% of the cost of a new laptop. I paid the other 50% myself.
However, the company is reimbursing me through my paycheck, rather than paying the vendor directly. Does that mean I’ll have to pay income tax and social insurance on the 50% reimbursement?
For reference, my monthly salary before any deductions is ¥400,000, and the laptop reimbursement will be around ¥100,000. I’m trying to figure out how this will affect my take-home pay.
Has anyone dealt with this before in Japan? How is it usually handled?

Expenses are handled as a separate item when your pay is disbursed
No, something like that would be no taxable income, like your train pass reimbursement. Doesn’t affect tax or social insurance premiums.
