【Mr. A’s pension premium refund and Tax refund experience】
I was debating as to which company I should ask for support for the lump sum withdrawal claim. We selected this site, certain that it was reliable and showed professionalism. I now know that I have made the right decision. From the initial application to the withholding tax refund, the whole process was very smooth.
I am very satisfied by their clear and thorough responses every step of the way. Thank you very much!
Even if one is from a foreign country, if he or she wishes to work in Japan, they—that is, if they are between the ages of 20 and 70 and have an address in Japan--must join a pension with some exceptions regardless of their nationality or length of stay. However, if you return home less than 10 years (120 months) to qualify for the pension, you will not be eligible for the basic pension for old age in Japan. But if you have paid a pension for more than six months, you can claim a lump sum withdrawal. You can claim a lump sum withdrawal within two years of the date of return (the date of loss of insured qualification). You can also apply for a refund of the tax deducted from the lump sum withdrawal within five years of receiving the lump sum withdrawal.
Inoue Social Insurance Lawyer's Office and East International Tax Accountant's Corporation operate a service called "Japan Return," which provides application procedures and corresponding tax refund procedures for lump sum withdrawals that foreign workers can claim after returning to their home countries. Withdrawal lump sum pension application procedures are handled by Inoue Social Insurance Laboratory and East International Tax Accountant Corporation respectively.
The total fee is 30,000 yen for withdrawal lump sum pension application procedures and tax refund procedures, and 20,000 yen for tax refund procedures only. We aim to build services that are much cheaper than other businesses and that are easier for foreigners to use by expanding local foreign language services.
