Exactly how many days can I stay in Japan in 2006 before I have to pay Japanese income tax? -

I have lived in Japan since last fall. I didn t owe Japanese taxes in 2005 because I stayed only a few months in Japan. Will the same be true for 2006? How long exactly can I stay before I have to pay taxes?

You will have to pay taxes in Japan if you stay more than 6 months of a fiscal year.

i think you will be taxed for the year s income... so next year you will pay your income tax for 2006 earnings
