The Takaichi administration will consider scrapping a special exemption that lets Chinese students work part-time in Japan without paying taxes. The treaty also lets Japanese students work tax free in China, but very few citizens study there.

Wait, so Chinese students have not been paying taxes all this time?
Are Famimas in the cities going to have to hire Japanese?
low income are basically tax exempted anyway. my dependent spouse was under the same 28h per week rule and working less than that was basically not taxed.
there is a 500k yen deduction for employees before applying income tax brakets and falling under ab. 400k yen even residence tax is zero in most municipalities.
The reason for this is some Chinese students earn more than the typical student and they aren’t taxed on their earnings.
so ruining ties and opportunities more for both sides. great job, you dumb hag
Yeah, fine. Takaichi’s policies so far have been an absolute shit show, but small changes to rules like this that offer little benefit to Japan are fine. If it was paired with sensible policies to combat the poor economy and issues that locals are facing at home, and not a slew of targeted, meaningless changes to stir up nationalistic pride, then I would say fair enough.
Personally, I think the negative impact of this change will be minimal. Chinese students won’t stop coming, or working, or spending.
So REDUCE the number of ryugakusei, when Japan needs to 10x the number of foreign students enrolled here?
Do it!
Good, if you look at the loopholes in Japan, US, and Canada, that are used and abused, in a brazen way and on an industrial scale, it’s time to end these tax exemption rules. I’m tired of foreign “students” with 0 income receiving state benefits owning all the housing in some cities. The highest valued housing neighborhoods earning the least income and receiving the most government benefits… It’s just one thing after another. Enough.
Fuking great idea
scrap it
😂🤦♀️ Wts
No wonder why all the spies
