Tax conventions are treaties established between Japan (source of the income) and the country where the individual resides in order to avoid
double taxation. Corporations and individuals residing in countries that have established tax conventions with Japan can avoid double taxation
for income earned from their reward in Japan (source of the income).
If a tax convention treaty has been established between your country of residence and Japan, the tax conventions are applied by submitting
two signed original "Application Form for Income Tax Convention" documents to LINE Security Bug Bounty Program. You may be able to
