The\u00a0Japan-US double tax treaty<\/strong>\u00a0was signed in 2003, replacing the previous one which dated from 1971. The double tax treaty was put in place in order to avoid double taxation and prevent the fiscal evasion in connection with the income taxes and the capital gains. Our\u00a0company formation advisors in Japan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can provide more details on this agreement, as well as assistance in\u00a0setting up a company in Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year later, in 2004, the Japan and the USA<\/strong> agreed to a new Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation<\/strong> and it related to withholding taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new protocol to this tax treaty was also added in 2013, being the first time that the country<\/strong><\/a> enables a general withholding tax exemption for interest paid to a US individual who is entitled to benefit from the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
