intajBooks for a freelancer in Japan, for your 確定申告.
A simple dated record of income and expenses, with receipts, ready for the filing season. Free, no sign-up, on your device.
Everyone with business income keeps books
Anyone with business income in Japan must record income and expenses (記帳) and keep the books and receipts, whether filing a 白色申告 or a 青色申告. The 青色申告 gives a larger special deduction in return for stricter bookkeeping (double-entry and e-filing for the top amount). Intaj Books is a simple single-entry record: enough for a 白色申告 and for your own picture; ask your 税理士 whether it meets your 青色 requirements.
The filing season
Income for the calendar year is declared in the 確定申告 period, mid-February to mid-March. The year view gives the twelve months and the total; the print page lists every entry and which ones have a receipt.
Questions
