Corporate taxation is based on residence, with a resident company being on that has its main place of business (main office) in Japan. There is no specific requirement to include local management for the purpose of this definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income while foreign companies are taxed only in the income they derive from Japan. Nonetheless, foreign companies that have a permanent establishment in the country (for example, a branch) is taxed in the same way as a subsidiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following taxes are relevant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>23.3% standard corporate tax rate, to which a local inhabitants and enterprise tax is added, bringing the effective tax rate to approximately 30% (for a company with a paid-in capital of over 100 million JPY);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2.1% surtax on the withholding tax for certain types of Japanese-source income;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20% withholding tax on dividends usually imposed on those paid to residents and nonresidents; a reduction is possible if a tax treaty is in place;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the consumption tax, similar to the value-added tax, with a standard value of 10% and a reduced rate of 0% and 8%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies in Japan are required to become consumption taxpayers when the taxable sales for goods and services included in this category do not exceed 10 million JPY in the base period. For this purpose, the base period is considered two years before the current year or the first six months of the prior year. Our&nbsp;<strong>accountant in Japan&nbsp;<\/strong>can give you more details. We can also provide information on the new consumption tax that will be introduced starting with October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other taxes for companies include the payroll tax, real property tax, social security contributions and the stamp duty, along with others for specific licensing and registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan has signed more than 70 double tax treaties and for more information on how these can apply to foreign companies we invite you to reach out to our tax specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"filing-obligations-in-japan\"><\/span><strong>Filing obligations in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team of accountants can help investors understand the tax filing and payment requirements. Companies select the fiscal year the moment they start their operations in the country, however, the accounting period must not exceed 12 months. For branches, the tax year is usually the same as it is for the parent company (head office).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies file a tax return every year and pay the final due taxes within two months of closing the tax year. Prepayments are made two months from the end of the sixth month of the year and in this case the amount will be either 50% of the tax payable according to the earnings in the previous year or the actual tax liability for the first six month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A particularity in the Japanese taxation system, which can be explained in more detail by an&nbsp;<strong>accountant in Japan<\/strong>, is the blue or white return. The blue type of return is one that is applied for before the beginning of the year as it includes certain privileges that can be important for the business. These can be related to deductions, accelerated depreciation or tax loss carryforwards. Newly incorporated businesses apply for the blue form before the end of their first year. However, in order to be eligible for the blue form, the company needs to meet a number of requirements in terms of the account system used and their recordkeeping. Our accounting specialists can provide you with more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Company owners in Japan are advised to seek proper accounting assistance in order to observe the requirements in force so that they may avoid the appliable penalties. These are issued for an underreport of the total taxes owed as well as for failure to submit the tax returns and make the tax payments in due time. These penalties are not deductible for Japanese tax purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"accounting-services-for-individual-taxation-in-japan\"><\/span><strong>Accounting services for individual taxation in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurs or sole traders can also benefit from adequate accounting assistance when they derive income from Japan. Understanding the individual taxation principles is essential, as is the compliance requirements for individuals (the tax rates applicable in Japan to individuals do not depend on marital status or any other status, this is to say that joint filing is not an option).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-employers need to observe similar tax filing and calculation methods as companies, another reason why accounting services are in demand even in the case of freelancers. Sole traders are required to self-report their income and an accountant can help during this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of certified accounting professionals in the country highlights the fact that these types of services are in demand. According to JICPA, the numbers are rising steadily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; there were 31,426 certified public accountants an the end of March 2019;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; 14% of the total number of professionals in Japan are women;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; in 2018 there were 31,212 certified public accountants (26,806 men and 4,406 women).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An accountant from our team will be able to assist those who are interested in applying for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyformationjapan.com\/how-to-obtain-a-residence-permit-in-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>residency in Japan<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;via the visa designed for business activities.
