Withholding tax in Japan - do I need to pay this?
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2018 11:25 am
I have been offered a book deal with a Japanese translation company, who appear to be telling me I must pay 20.42% withholding tax on the advance and royalties.
I checked out the PWC info on this - http://taxsummaries.pwc.com/ID/Japan-Corporate-Withholding-taxes
And this appears to say that there is a deal in place on earnings in Japan - but I have no clue how to read this document.
I pay 0% WHT on US earnings, due to a US-UK tax deal - so does something similar apply here?
Can anyone clarify the position?
Thank you.
