"From April 2027, the new immigration control act will be implemented.

This might be a great effect for Permanent Resident (PR) holders in Japan.

That is to say, they can revoke your PR if you do or don't do the activity that stipulates in the said law.

Today, I will explain about "Intentional non-payment of tax and social insurance premiums."
↓
A new law revision, effective from April 2027, adds the possibility of PR revocation for those who intentionally fail to pay taxes, pension insurance, health insurance, and other public taxes.
↓
This applies to cases where the person routinely fails to pay tax or social insurance premiums and is deemed to have done so intentionally and maliciously.
↓
However, they have no intention to immediately revoke PR for those 1) who accidentally forget to pay or 2) who are temporarily in arrears due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness or unemployment.
↓
This provision is intended solely to deal with malicious long-term tax delinquents and is therefore unrelated to the vast majority of ordinary permanent residents, I believe."

I assume the prosecution would have the burden of proof for “malicious intentional non-payment”? Seems hard to enforce?
Dealing with the courts and lawyers about this.
My old company had me under “special collection” (tax withheld from salary), so bills were sent to the company- so no idea they were not being paid.
They had not paid these in 3 years.
So guess who has to pay them in installments now… when they they took the money and have ignored court summon…..?
What about NHK?
As a PR, I’m quite happy with this. Anyone who intentionally fails to pay what they owe deserves to lose rights and privileges.
