I worked at foreign country national pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka as specialist for communications and I was dispatched from my country for a business trip for duration of four-five months(128-130days). I have received salary to my JP bank account total for 4-5months was around 1.700.000JPY.
From my understanding of the BIE agreement, staff engaged in non-commercial activities related to the Expo are exempt from Japanese income tax.
Can anyone confirm if my salary during this period is indeed exempt from Japanese taxation? Also, do I need to provide any documentation or take specific steps to ensure this exemption is recognized by the Japanese tax authorities (NTA)? Has anyone here been in this situation before?
