Taxation
Corporate tax liabilities in Japan are composed of several components (prefectural, municipal, local and national), which normally add up to a total of –
- 22.4% for corporations with a total annual income of up to 4 mil JPY
- 24.86% for corporations with a total annual income of 4-8 mil JPY
- 36.8% for corporations with a total annual income of 8-100 mil JPY
A minimum corporate tax of approximately 70-100,000 JPY is levied on all corporations, regardless of income. For corporations with a total annual income exceeding 100 mil JPY (“Enterprises”), a flat total corporate tax rate of 29.74% applies.
Our accounting teams will provide you with affordable tax advice and filing services, as well as ensure that your tax liabilities are optimized, to allow for the highest possible net profit at all times.
They will also assist with any other applicable tax liabilities, such as property taxes if and when applicable, consumption tax, staff/salaries related taxation & national insurance/pension contributions, and all other matters related to taxation.
They will also advise on best practices and strategies, file all required annual statements on your behalf, and claim all and any deductions and tax refunds available to you.
