I have held a Japanese spouse visa since October 2025, which is valid for three years. I just successfully opened a JP post office bank account and plan to remit JPY from my origin country to Japan at the end of this month. Information I found online suggests that income tax might apply to the remittance when filing taxes next March 2027. However, this money was earned before I entered Japan in October 2025. I also read that transferring this money to my wife might incur gift tax when filing taxes next year. Is it true? What should I do to avoid filing taxes next March 2027 for this overseas remittance?
