Is remitting to parents via Wise (formerly TransferWise) accepted by the tax office? How do I print proof?

Brief answer: Wise cross-border remittances are widely used. Official transfer confirmations or bank deposit records typically serve as living expenses remittance proof.
Detailed explanation
Download a PDF confirmation from Wise with remitter, recipient, amount, date, and transaction ID, together with parents' domestic bank deposit SMS or online banking screenshots. Remitter name should match residence card and withholding slip; see remittance-name-different if not. Japanese bank debit records can link yen withdrawals. Wise's favorable exchange rate does not affect tax acceptance—the focus is support fund flow. Attach brief Japanese notes to English or Chinese confirmations. Acceptance is determined by the tax office.
