My company prohibits side jobs, but my papa (a male supporter) says I won’t get caught by my main employer as long as I file my own tax return, so he recommended taking one on.
This content is machine-translated.
Is it true that a side job won’t be discovered if I properly file my tax return?
If anyone among the respondents knows the details, I’d appreciate your advice.
By the way, from what I’ve found, even if it is discovered, it apparently wouldn’t be a legal violation, so there would be no legal punishment—but it would violate company regulations, and depending on the circumstances, I could be fired.
I do want a side job because I’d like to earn more, but if there’s a high chance of getting caught, I feel it would be too risky.
As for the type of side job, I’m thinking of something ordinary, like a telework job on my days off, rather than working in the nightlife industry.

Is papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) considered a side job?
You’re free to file a tax return, but don’t forget to select “ordinary collection” as the method for collecting resident tax on income other than employment income. If you fail to do this, your employer may be notified of the resident tax due on your papa-katsu income, and they could find out.

If you file a tax return, your company will find out.
If your company’s work rules prohibit side jobs, you could potentially be fired, depending on the exact wording of the policy.
Your safest options would probably be:
- Move to a company that allows side jobs
- Keep working hard at papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)
- Invest in stocks or mutual funds
Something along those lines.

If you file a tax return, won’t they find out? LOL
Do you have to file a tax return for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?
I don’t think it’s necessary, though.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
If you file a tax return for income from a side job, your resident tax will increase, so your employer may find out. Even if you don’t file, ordinary companies withhold taxes and report the payments to the tax office, so there’s always a chance it could come to light—for example, if the tax office points out that you failed to report income.
As an aside, if you declare the allowance as a gift, your resident tax shouldn’t change.
For tax matters, consult a tax professional such as a certified tax accountant. I don’t think you should blindly believe what a papa says—or rely on answers from a Q&A site.

Of course they’re going to find out, lol.
By the way, I’m not allowed to have a side job either. There are a few ways around it, though. I can’t say what they are.

Wouldn’t filing a tax return actually make it more likely to get found out?
That papa is Carlos Ghosn (allowance: 5), right? Surely.
It depends on the company, but these days it’s standard to submit your My Number to your employer and have it linked, so if your tax amount changes, the company should find out.
Though I only graduated middle school, so I might be talking complete nonsense.
