Hey everyone,
I recently got a salary raise from ¥4.8M → ¥5.4M. annually
But the new structure is a bit unique:
- ¥4.8M is paid as my normal salary from my company Lets say(XYZ., Ltd.) — with tax, pension, and insurance deducted.
- ¥0.6M is paid separately from a related company (ABC., Ltd.) as an outsourced commission (業務委託費) — no deductions.
Both companies are under the same CEO / same group, so it’s basically the same organization.
HR told me I’ll get a 支払調書 for the ¥600,000 and will need to declare it myself during tax filing (確定申告).
My take-home is now around ¥430k–¥440k/month
Is this kind of salary split normal in Japan?
And for PR (Permanent Residency) purposes, its currently in process, will it affect anything?
Would love to hear if anyone else has had something similar!

that seems unlikely? Are you counting resident tax?
I have never seen or heard of this.
It’s also a pain cause you will have to do your taxes now. But is that 60man a bonus from the other company or just a part of your base salary?
This looks sketchy. Are you providing extra hours on top of your main job in exchange for this bonus? It’s basically a side gig and probably needs a completely separate contract.
Not an expert, and would probably recommend consulting with either hello work, and/or an employment lawyer about it.
Without more details, my first thought would be by doing this, they may be able to avoid or reduce their burden of your Shakai Hoken payments – and if so, that *might* possibly increase your burden on those payments accordingly.
I guess, the first question I would just ask HR to explain what is the reason they are doing this, and to explain very clearly how exactly does it affect me… and I will take everything they say with a grain of salt, and then follow up with someone else who will act in my interests instead.
