By the way, first I have heard of this. I don't expect more info immediately because this is just a report on "what some consultant dude told my workplace" but if anyone comes across a concrete source of information for this please post here.
News to me too. Perhaps it just means you are required to settle up when you leave or at least at the end of that tax year. Which seems fair enough to me.
So what if someone just fucks off home, Taro from the tax office is going to follow? Almost as much paranoia as the nipponjin my number bollocks.
Surely depends on where FG stashes his cash does it not?
Perhaps, but that would mean burning your bridges. Rarely a smart move in my experience.
I thought I replied to [settle up when you leave], that's bridges nuked in my book, not just a jolly to Bankok
What? No-one has to settle their taxes before they go on holiday. I thought your point was that if you just left and never returned it would be difficult for the tax office to recover the tax you owed. Which is true but I wouldn't want to burn my bridges.
