Dependent Deduction for Non-Resident Dependents in Japanese Income Tax

Below is a short summary outlining the key conditions for claiming the dependent deduction (扶養控除) for non-resident dependents under Japanese income tax:


Dependent Deduction for Non-Resident Dependents in Japanese Income Tax

When filing your Japanese income tax return, you might wonder if you can claim a dependent exemption for a family member who lives abroad. While the rules can be complex, here are the essential conditions to keep in mind:

  1. Relationship Requirement
    The non-resident dependent must be a close relative, such as a spouse, child, parent, or another family member as defined by Japanese tax law. The relationship should be clearly documented, usually with official records or certificates (e.g. passport and birth certificate).
  2. Income Limitation
    For a dependent to qualify, their annual income must not exceed a specific threshold – traditionally around ¥1,030,000. This income ceiling ensures that the dependent is not self-supporting and indeed relies on your financial assistance.
  3. Financial Support
    You must provide at least 380,000 or more as financial support. This does not mean that even if they live abroad, the dependent’s living expenses should be substantially covered by you during the tax year. The tricky part is that the monies have to be sent through Japanese financial institutions (e.g. banks)
  4. .Residency Status Verification
    Since the dependent is non-resident, they don’t have maintain their residency in Japan.

Final Note:
Tax regulations can be subject to changes and interpretations. Always check the latest guidelines from the National Tax Agency or consult a tax professional like us (Accounting Intelligence) to ensure that you meet all the criteria when claiming a dependent exemption for a non-resident relative.

By understanding and meeting these conditions, you can ensure a smoother tax filing process and avoid potential issues with the tax authorities.


This concise guide should serve as a helpful overview for those considering claiming a non-resident as a dependent in Japan. Happy filing!
