Hello people!
I'm a kiwi guy with a rental property in New Zealand but I've been living and working in Japan on a spousal visa for the last 10 years.
During that time I've been paying my salary tax in Japan and my rental income tax in New Zealand. I recently heard from an American friend that I might have to pay the rental income tax in Japan.
Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not?
I've had a look at the double tax agreement and the excerpt below makes me think I'm OK to continue as I have been.
A quick web search suggests a house is immovable property.
