イラストレーターとして収入を得たら、どのような税金について知っておく必要がありますか？

収入を得たら、年末調整や翌年の2月16日から3月15日にかけて行われる最終-tax returnの提出と、それに伴う所得税の支払いが必要です。また、青色申告と白色申告の2つの種類があり、青色申告をすることで65万円の控除を受けることができます。

税務署が提供するサービスについて知っていますか？

税務署は、税金の申告について詳しくサポートすることができます。税務署に行くことで、手続きの方法を学ぶことができます。また、未申告による追加税や罰金についてもアドバイスを提供します。

イラストレーターとして働く場合、どのような保険に加入するべきですか？

フリーランスとして働く場合、収入が安定しないという不安はありますか？

フリーランスとして働く場合、収入は確かに不安定になる可能性がありますが、自分自身の能力を発揮することで、会社勤めよりも多くの収入を得ることが可能です。また、将来の不安を解消するために、適切な保険や貯金計画を持つことが重要です。

Transcripts

Hello everyone, my name is Naoki Saito.

I will answer the questions of the viewers of this channel in today's video.

First, we have a question from SATAKEAYANO, a teenager.

Hello, my name is SATAKEAYANO.

I like to draw illustrations, and as a hobby, I post my drawings on the Internet.

One day, someone around me suggested that I try becoming an illustrator.

However, I am a high school student and still a minor.

I can earn my own money and have my own internet account.

However, my popularity is low.

How can I receive requests from customers?

Also, what will happen to the commission fee I offer when I receive a commission, and the taxes if I become an illustrator?

I occasionally hear that there are people who ignore them and go about their activities.

Please tell me these to the extent that you can answer them.

Sorry for the long text.

I always watch your videos.

I love your videos because they are easy to understand.

I'm rooting for you.

Thank you, SATAKEAYANO, for consulting with me.

Although you haven't done any illustration work yet, it seems like you want something to keep you from falling.

You may be worried about your future activities.

I understand that feeling too.

I don't think there are many people around you who understand money especially after becoming an illustrator.

So you would like to know that.

She has asked me a lot of questions, so I will explain them one by one.

First of all, there are many ways to get customers, and there are many different ways to get customers.

However, the best method is to use SNS, which is the most common method in today's world and is highly reproducible.

The SNS can be any medium such as X, INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK, YOUTUBE, etc., so please continue to present your work in the way you are good at.

If you are hoping to get a request from a company, the best shortcut is to become popular on SNS.

Therefore, if you can present your work in a way that will make it a topic of conversation, you will naturally receive requests.

However, even if you don't become that popular, if you're active, it's quite possible that fans will follow your paintings.

You may even receive a personal request for an illustration from one of those fans.

If you want to generate income through requests from individuals, it will be easier to communicate with them using SKEB.

Regardless of whether you are aiming for a corporate project or a personal project, it would be effective to first consider how to make a presentation using SNS.

The video gets a little too long when I start talking about the amount of requests in various industries.

So, please see my past video "Illustration market price: What is the reason why the amount of illustrations is low" for more information.

The video provides detailed explanations of the market prices for illustrations in various industries and how to negotiate prices.

I will put the URL in the summary section of this video.

Next, let's talk about taxes when you become an illustrator.

Of course, if you earn income from your illustrations, you will have to pay taxes on your final tax return.

In Japan, you are required to file a final tax return and pay income tax between February 16th and March 15th of the following year for income earned during the year from January 1st to December 31st.

There are two types of tax returns: blue tax returns and white tax returns.

Basically, it is better to file a blue tax return, and you can receive a deduction of up to 650,000 yen.

However, the cost is more troublesome work, such as having to keep records using double-entry bookkeeping.

Therefore, many illustrators who are just starting out use white tax return, and then switch to blue tax return once their activities are on track.

I think there are many people who don't know what to do to file a tax return in the first place, but that's okay.

Before you think about it, please go to the tax office and tell them that you want to file a tax return, but you don't know how.

In this case, the tax office staff will carefully support you from start to finish, such as using this paper to write this.

Therefore, I recommend that you first go to the tax office.

When I was 19 years old, I also went to the HACHIOJI tax office without knowing anything about taxes.

I said to the staff member, ``I don't know anything about taxes, so please help me. How should I go about these procedures?'' and he taught me how to fill out all the documents.

At that time, tax office consultation desks will be set up, so please contact the tax office where you live or check their website.

And now comes the important part.

Please keep this in mind if you have not filed your tax return.

In that case, you will be charged additional tax for non-declaration.

This takes a toll on our savings.

If this is applied, the additional amount that will be taken is 15% up to 500,000 yen.

In other words, if 500,000 yen is not declared, 75,000 yen will be added.

If the amount is more than that, the surcharge will be 20%.

If you have not declared 2 million yen, you will have to pay an additional 400,000 yen in tax.

If the undeclared amount exceeds 3 million yen, the rate increases further to 30%.

In other words, if you earn 5 million yen but forget to declare it, you will be charged an additional 1.5 million yen in addition to the income tax you should have paid.

This is what I heard from my tax accountant.

The tax office seems to take cases where the tax return itself is not filed more seriously than cases where the tax return is filed incorrectly or falsified income.

So it seems that the tax office marks such people.

Moreover, the tax office will not contact you immediately.

They leave the subject swimming for a certain amount of time.

And now, seven years after not filing a tax return, it seems that a tax investigation will suddenly begin.

Why is that timing?

Tax evasion can be flagged seven years back.

So, 7 years of non-filing means that in addition to 7 years of income tax, you can get 7 years of late tax, 7 years of non-filing additional tax, and 7 years of heavy additional tax.

If you are currently watching this video and think that you have not filed your final tax return or have filed a fraudulent tax return, but the tax office has not pointed it out at all so far, please be careful.

A few years from now, when the additional tax due to non-filing has reached its maximum value, the tax office may say, ``We'll charge you 10 million yen.''

As a result, the tax office will be able to collect a large amount of tax.

The tax office uses this method to collect tax.

Therefore, if you earn income from personal activities, not just paintings, please don't forget to file your tax return.

As a side note, even if you forget to file your tax return and end up crossing March 15th, you can still go back and file your tax return later.

So let's be honest about that.

If the tax office finds out about this, you will be subject to heavy fines.

So everyone please be careful about this.

So I'll answer the next question.

This is a question from KUROHA, who is in her 20s.

Hello, Naoki Saito.

Thank you for always creating helpful videos.

I started drawing two years ago after watching a video by Naoki Saito.

Fortunately, I am now able to earn tens of thousands of yen a month from requests for illustrations and support sites.

I would like to eventually make a living from illustration.

So I have a question for you.

Please let me know if there are any things I should be careful about regarding tax returns, taxes, etc., or services or insurance I should get when doing illustration work.

I apologize for asking a question that is not directly related to illustrations, but I would appreciate it if you could answer it.

KUROHA thank you for asking me the question.

I talked about final tax returns earlier, so I won't talk about them here.

Manga artists and animators are also included among people who work in drawing.

There are two things they should definitely include.

The first one is the Literary Arts National Health Insurance Association, abbreviated as BUNBI KOKUHO.

This is national health insurance for people working in the art field.

The easiest way to join this union is to join the Japan Illustration Association.

First, I joined the Japan Illustration Association.

From there, you can apply to switch to BUNBI KOKUHO.

To join this association, you need to prove your track record.

It is necessary to put some pictures that Kuroha actually drew at work on A4 paper and send them to that church.

Once approved, you can join this association.

The annual membership fee is about 24,000 yen.

Depending on your income, some people may find that BUNBI KOKUHO offers very low premiums, so there are many cases where it is still profitable to pay the annual fee.

There is a website that allows you to simulate the difference in insurance premiums between general national health insurance and BUNBI KOKUHO, so I tried calculating it.

This is a simulation for people living in SUGINAMI Ward.

If you are an illustrator living alone and have an annual income of 4 million yen, the annual insurance premium will be 475,200 yen if you are enrolled in BUNBI KOKUHO.

If you have general national health insurance, the premium is 503,800 yen.

In other words, with Bunbi National Health Insurance, your annual premium will be 28,600 yen cheaper.

If the income is around 4 million yen, the difference is not that wide, so the impact is weak.

National Health Insurance premiums rise according to income.

The maximum insurance premium as of 2024 is 870,000 yen.

For example, if your annual income is 8 million yen, your National Health Insurance fee will be 827,300 yen.

The health insurance premium alone was over 800,000 yen, an unbelievable amount.

However, if you subscribe to BUNBI KOKUHO, your annual premium can be kept at 297,600 yen.

This means that the insurance premium will be reduced by 529,700 yen per year.

So, when your income exceeds 5 million yen, it's probably a good idea to consider switching from National Health Insurance to BUNBI KOKUHO.

The second type of insurance that illustrators, manga artists, and animators should apply for is small business mutual aid.

Small business mutual aid is like a retirement plan for freelancers who save money in case they go out of business or retire.

Freelancers, of course, don't have any retirement benefits.

Therefore, some people may think that the future is uncertain because of this.

It would be a good idea for such people to join a small business mutual aid scheme and save up retirement benefits so that they can receive the money when they quit their jobs.

Here is an example of this.

For example, if you save 10,000 yen a month for 20 years, the total contribution for 20 years will be approximately 2.4 million yen.

The amount will vary depending on the method of refund.

It seems that after 20 years, you will get back about 2.8 million yen.

That's about 400,000 yen more.

We have just talked about the case of 10,000 yen per month, but the premium can be increased to a maximum of 70,000 yen per month and up to 840,000 yen per year.

The more contributions you make, the more money you can save for retirement.

However, some people may think that it would be better to save money.

That's completely wrong.

I believe that if you are a freelancer, it is better to join small business mutual aid as much as possible.

The reason for this is that there are deductions in addition to retirement benefits.

One of the great benefits of small business mutual aid is that the contributions you use to save money are fully deducted from your taxable income.

This is pretty amazing.

To put this in easy-to-understand terms, it means that even though you're just saving money, you're also saving money on taxes.

Even if you work hard and save 840,000 yen a year, your income tax will not be reduced.

Moreover, the interest rate on it is small, so you can't expect any increase in the amount even if you keep it in the bank.

However, if you save that 840,000 yen as small business mutual aid, as I introduced earlier, the more years you save, the more you will get back.

In addition, the entire 840,000 yen will be deducted annually.

Therefore, the amount of taxes I would normally pay will be reduced.

This is amazing.

However, this is not without its disadvantages.

If you have been a subscriber for less than 20 years, you will lose your principal.

Therefore, if you want to receive a large amount of refunds, you need to be a member for as long as possible.

So if you want to get here, it's better to get there early.

Please be careful about that.

Let's take a look at the next question.

This is a question from MOCHI who is in his 20s.

I always enjoy watching Naoki Saito's videos.

I would like to ask you a question about the instability of the future of painters.

I've loved drawing illustrations since I was little.

However, I was told by my family that only talented people could pursue painting as a profession.

I wanted to look back on them, so I've been working since I was a student.

This is amazing.

By the time I graduated from high school, I was able to live on my own and started getting requests for work.

This is amazing.

Then you will be told that this condition will not last long and that you are just lucky.

That's a harsh opinion.

I was also frustrated by that, so I made a living from painting for four years and worked hard to earn more than the average income.

But this time, freelancers have to earn double the average.

It is said that everyone loses income as they get older.

I think these words come from a place of worry, but is it true that the future of painters is always considered to be in jeopardy, and there's no way to argue with that?

I'm sorry for sounding like I'm complaining.

I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice as you have been working as an illustrator for a long time.

MOCHI thank you for asking me the question.

There's no need to worry about this.

MOCHI is doing a great job.

No matter what your family says, your income is above average, so I don't think there's any need to argue.

However, whether I'm lucky or not, I'm actually producing results, so I don't think there's any need to worry about the opinions of those around me.

I want you to remain silent no matter what your relatives say.

It is often said that freelancers need to earn twice as much as office workers.

But honestly, I've never really felt it.

In fact, when I was working at the company, my annual salary was about 4 million yen.

In my first year as a freelancer, my income dropped to less than 3 million yen.

My income has decreased from 4 million yen to less than 3 million yen.

My savings were around 500,000 yen, but even in that situation, if I lived alone, I could easily live in Tokyo.

Prices are getting a little high now.

So I may feel a little different than I used to.

However, I think it is an exaggeration to say that freelancers need to earn twice as much as an office worker.

This is just the basic premise.

There is no need to force yourself to earn a lot of money.

However, one of the benefits of becoming a freelancer instead of a company employee is that if you work hard, you can earn more money by the amount of effort you put in.

When I was a company employee, my annual salary of 4 million yen in my first year was a relatively high income.

In my 20s, I was satisfied with that amount.

I was young at the time and was happy to see the amount.

However, no matter how hard I work, that 4 million yen income will not change.

Even if I work extremely hard at work and achieve good results, my income is only 4 million yen.

Also, even if I do the job that comes to me, my income is only 4 million yen.

I used to work hard at work while learning new technologies, but when this happens, I get a little worried.

Then, I wondered how much I would receive if I were to advance further and get a position at a company.

And I saw it one day.

My boss is an art director, which is the pinnacle of a designer and the highest profession.

The person's pay slip was casually placed on the desk.

So of course I'll watch it.

I looked into it, expecting the amount written there to be a large amount.

Come to think of it, when the illustrator AKIMAN was working at the company, he said that his annual salary was 30 million yen.

When I looked at it, I was excited to see that my boss's salary might be the same or maybe a little higher.

However, it said 8 million yen.

I was stunned when I saw that.

For someone in my 20s, that's quite an impressive amount.

Moreover, if you live alone and earn 8 million yen a year, you can live a fairly luxurious life.

So some people may get excited.

However, I had high expectations for AKIMAN's annual income of 30 million yen.

So I was very disappointed, thinking that even if I worked hard here, that would be the upper limit of my income.

That's not the only reason I chose freelancing.

However, due to this, I decided to quit the company after a year and a half of joining the company.

I decided to aim for 30 million yen in annual income, even though I had no idea if it was possible.

At that time, I had no idea how I could earn 30 million yen.

I don't know how many times more 30 million yen is an ordinary office worker's income.

In Japan, the standard for a successful company employee is an income of 10 million yen.

So, considering that, my target amount would be at least 3 times as much.

Therefore, I thought that if I could achieve that goal, I would be proud as a professional, so I set that goal.

However, looking around the world today, in the United States, 10 million yen is about the starting salary for a new graduate who can do the job.

So I think things are a lot different now than they were in the past.

So it might be a good idea to aim a little higher.

In any case, as long as you become a freelancer, you should be determined to make 5 to 10 times more than you would have been able to earn when you were an office worker, rather than twice as much.

This doesn't mean that you need to have that much actual income, but it's just a matter of enthusiasm.

However, if you listen to what I just said, some people may think that there are no benefits to being an office worker, so I would like to add this.

There are many benefits to being an employee.

It would have various benefits.

Among them, what I think is good about being a company employee is that the company will go out of its way to develop your abilities, even if it means spending money.

For example, at the company I worked for, you could participate in various specialized technical training and seminars by applying.

If you want to participate in such a thing on your own, there are usually seminars that cost hundreds of thousands of yen.

If you are working as a freelancer, you will naturally have to pay for these expenses yourself.

However, office workers can basically learn these things for free.

I thought this was a great benefit for office workers.

There are also many other companies that offer generous benefits.

So I definitely don't think it's good to just become a freelancer and aim for high income.

The person who asked the question, MOCHI, has a proven track record and is likely to have the ability to earn more than the average if he works hard.

If you want to earn double your current income at that rate, you'll probably be able to make a normal amount of money.

So I think you should just keep trying.

Let's have fun at work and earn a lot of money.

Don't give up on your dreams, I'm rooting for you.

What did you think of this video?

In this video, I talked about work, and I got a lot of questions about money and how to make money.

So how can you actually make money on your own?

Most people may be the first to give up, thinking that the hurdle is too high.

But please wait a little while before making that decision.

Please watch this video before you give up.

Can your paintings make money?

This is an introduction to BOOTH on-demand sales.

This video introduces BOOTH on Demand, an amazing service that allows you to sell goods using your drawings for 0 yen.
