The claim

「在日特権」 働かずに年600万円もらって税金は払わない?

Original review summary

The review finds no unconditional payment of money based on special permanent resident status and says residents in Japan, including foreign nationals, are subject to resident taxes and other tax obligations. It explains that some municipalities provide limited benefits to a narrow group of older people who became ineligible for a pension, but these are not a general privilege for special permanent residents.[S1]

Additional context

The review says these municipal benefits are for people born before April 1, 1926, who lack pension eligibility, and gives typical amounts of roughly ¥7,000–¥15,000 per month in several municipalities. [S1]
