Not really. I don't have first hand experience but my understanding is that if you're employed as a salaryman in Japan then your employer will file your taxes for you. That is very different from your employer sending a form saying how much they paid you and what was already deducted for taxes.
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoI don't know how it's in Japan but in Austria neither the company nor the employee file taxes. There is a general tax withholding that you do as an employer for your employees but the taxes are filed automatically by the state. You can then retroactively go in and modify that by doing a "Arbeitnehmerveranlagung" where you can claim modifications to your automatic tax filings. This is a different process for when you are self employed and you actually file taxes from "scratch" which however is also a significantly simplified process.
- code_duck 10y agoThis is effectively not very different than how it works for most people in the US. Yhe employer sends the government forms and funds for your estimated taxes, and at the end of the year the taxpayer files a return and gets a refund based on varying deductions.
