税金
スペインの講演に講演料を払ってくれることになった。とても嬉しいがこの所得には下手するとスペイン、日本双方で税金がかかる。それを回避する条約が結ばれているが出す書類が実に多いのと英語でないといけない。日本に住んでいる証明書が要るが日本語しかなく、マドリド工科大にて受理されず。スペインの税金24%がひかれるらしい。卒業証書も英語バージョンある時代、各種役所書類も英語作ったらいかが？I They ended up paying my lecture fee for a lecture in Spain. I’m very happy, but if I don’t do well, this income will be subject to tax in both Spain and Japan. There is a treaty in place to avoid this, but there are a lot of documents to be submitted, and they have to be in English. I need proof that I live in Japan, but since it is only in Japanese, it wes not accepted by the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Apparently 24% Spanish tax will be deducted. In an era when there are English versions of graduation certificates, why not make various government documents in English as well?
