Hello all,
My bf received an offer from a company which does not have a Japan entity and will employ him through an EOR. The EOR itself (RemotePass) does not have an entity in Japan, they have another partner here who will be remitting payments for him. Also, the agreement will be under an independent contractor agreement, which I suppose would need him to take care of his social insurance and taxes himself. A few questions:
1) He is on an engineer visa – can he accept an independent contractor agreement? He’s always been a seishain. This will be his main job and he will resign from his current job. He still has visa until 2027 and we are planning to move to the country where the company is based in, so this independent contractor agreement will be temporary.
2) For those who are on EOR, does the company typically do the tax deductions, social insurance etc as well and “employ” you as their employee? Meaning, do you have an employee contract with the EOR and your EOR helps with all your taxes?
This seems to be a grey area so I would like to have more understanding about this. Thanks!
