However, one similarity between branch offices and <strong>liaison offices in Japan <\/strong>is that they do not have their own separate legal status. A branch office is considered an extension of the foreign parent company and operates under its legal framework.<br><br>If you wish to know more about <strong>Japanese company formation <\/strong>and the types of business structures available in the country, do not hesitate to reach out to our specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video summarizes the characteristics of the liaison office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Set Up a Liaison Office in Japan\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-8C_O8fihHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"taxes-and-costs-related-to-liaison-offices-in-japan\"><\/span><strong>Taxes and costs related to liaison offices in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, <strong>representative offices in Japan <\/strong>do not conduct business activities in Japan and are not considered permanent establishments. Therefore, they are generally not subject to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/companyformationjapan.com\/corporate-tax-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corporate taxes in Japan.<\/a><\/strong><br><br>They are also not required to report direct inward investment to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mof.go.jp\/english\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ministry of Finance <\/a><\/strong>via the Bank of Japan under the Foreign Exchange Law. Therefore, there is no need to submit reports on their financial transactions or investment activities.<br><br>However, financial institutions such as foreign banks, insurance companies, or securities companies are subject to different regulations. They are required to submit a report in advance to the Ministry of Finance when establishing a representative office due to laws specific to banking, insurance, and securities operations.<br><br>As for costs associated with<strong> liaison offices<\/strong>, companies can own or rent their space in Japan. Please note that while renting, in some cases the building owner may ask the<strong> representative office<\/strong> to provide a guarantor who has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/companyformationjapan.com\/how-to-obtain-a-residence-permit-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese residency.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other costs may include the employee\u2019s salaries and contributions, maintenance costs, utilities, advertising, or marketing budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact our specialists for more details regarding taxes, including taxes associated with <strong>company registration in Japan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"advantages-of-opening-a-representative-office-in-japan\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of opening a representative office in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening a liaison office in Japan<\/strong> is an excellent idea for foreign companies wishing to expand their business in the country, without having to conduct any commercial activities. Here are more advantages of <strong>representative offices<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Low costs &#8211; By having a <strong>representative office<\/strong>, businesses can avoid the burden of setting up and maintaining a full-size company in Japan.

The only registration needed is with the tax office to pay the withheld income taxes of the employees;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexibility to test the market \u2013 A <strong>liaison office <\/strong>is a great opportunity to explore and test the Japanese market before making any substantial investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, investors can take advantage of the country\u2019s exceptional economic status if they are interested in <strong>opening a company in Japan<\/strong>. Here are a few statistics and data that highlight this idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In 2022, Japan\u2019s GDP was estimated at 4.23 trillion dollars;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A preliminary survey report conducted in 2022 on 25,905 Japanese companies demonstrated that sales per company increased by 5.2% compared to the previous year;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The same report shows that sales in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/companyformationjapan.com\/start-a-textile-manufacturing-business-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manufacturing <\/a><\/strong>sector increased by 8.8%;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another increase was in the retail sector, with a growth of 1.8% compared to the previous year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have to know more about<strong>&nbsp;setting up a representative office in Japan<\/strong>, or for help to&nbsp;<strong>open<\/strong>&nbsp;a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyformationjapan.com\/open-a-llc-in-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LLC&nbsp;in Japan<\/strong><\/a>, we kindly invite you to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyformationjapan.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>get in touch<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A&nbsp;liaison office, most commonly known as a&nbsp;representative office,&nbsp;in Japan&nbsp;is generally opened by foreign legal entities as a preliminary step to actually doing business in the country.
