Ok, so I went to a tax calculation office with my wife and we both filled about all our information using an etax system. Turns out I will be getting money back and they were even able to file my taxes to the tax office from there. Since it was my first time filing, I was happy to find out that they are able to deposit the money directly into my Japanese bank account.
It is funny because the following morning, I received a letter telling me to pay my pension. I realize that the tax office and the pension office are separate, but maybe the pension office was able to get word that I'm getting tax money back, so they got on the ball about shaking me down for some cash lol.
My boss, who is a Japanese woman keeps insisting that I shouldn't worry if I'm a little behind on my pension payments because it won't effect my visa renewal process? From what I have been reading online, it has become a requirement to not only sign up for shakai hoken, but to make sure you are up to date or relatively up to date on your monthly payments?
I plan to call up the pension office to talk with them and mention that I plan to seriously pay what I can, so they get off my back a little. I just find it funny because a few weeks ago my boss was telling me how even a lot of Japanese people don't pay their pensions much at all and that they would have to hunt down many people individually, so I shouldn't worry so much. Well, I must be on their shit list because it sure seems like I'm one of the first ones they are hassling for money lol.
Has anyone on here ever received any letters from the pension office about making payments?
