Tax Advisory Services in Japan

We manage the full scope of Japanese corporate tax obligations for foreign companies, from calculating liabilities to preparing and filing accurate year-end returns. Our English-speaking advisors ensure your filings align with local regulations while optimizing for efficiency and compliance.

Japan’s consumption tax rules can be complex, especially for exporters and foreign-affiliated entities. We prepare and file your returns while identifying applicable exemptions, helping you avoid penalties and reclaim overpaid taxes where possible.

From transfer pricing to CFC (anti-tax haven) rules, we help businesses navigate cross-border tax complexities. Leveraging the RSM global network, we develop compliant, tax-efficient structures for your operations in Japan and beyond.

Foreign companies without a legal presence in Japan may need a local tax representative. We act on your behalf to manage communications with the Japanese tax office, ensure regulatory compliance, and support your peace of mind.

Our advisors provide proactive tax strategies tailored to your business stage and sector. From entity setup to growth planning, we identify opportunities to minimize liabilities and align your operations with both domestic and international tax frameworks.

Tax inspections and inquiries are a natural part of doing business. We assist with inspection preparation, represent you in front of tax authorities, and ensure your documentation is robust. Our goal: reduce exposure and resolve issues quickly and favorably.
