I was charged taxes on my income on my monthly check. Then every year I paid a tax for living there. Even though I left before the year was over,I had to pay the full year's amount before I was allowed to leave Japan. Funny thing was no one could ever explain these "taxes" to me.

I paid taxes, but then got the money back after I moved back to Japan (that might have been like Social Security...not sure)
