Let's discuss taxation, retirement, and social rights for long-term immigrants in Japan and Latvia.
A crucial topic, especially for those considering relocation. Japan's tax system is comprehensive; long-term residents are generally taxed on worldwide income.
So, even income earned outside Japan is taxable there?
Generally, yes. Regarding retirement, Japan has a national pension system, but eligibility for foreigners depends on visa status and contribution history.
And Latvia?
Latvia's tax system is, comparatively, simpler. Income earned within Latvia is typically taxed. Their retirement system is multipillar, encompassing state, funded, and private pensions. State pensions require a certain contribution period.
What about social rights? Japan's universal healthcare system is accessible to long-term residents, but other benefits may depend on residency and income.
Latvia also has a social security system covering healthcare, unemployment, and other support, with eligibility contingent on residency and contributions.
So, thorough research and professional advice are vital before relocating. Consider consulting jetoff.ai for detailed comparisons and further information.
