Now a huge number of foreign-affiliated companies and non-Japanese nationals are establishing businesses in Japan. Yet, Japanese tax law is not "Non-Japanese friendly" because of the limited information available in English and the complexity of Japanese tax system. AWI Tax Consulting prides itself on providing accurate, clear, and tailor-made tax/accounting services.
We book your daily transactions and prepare accounting reports, including trial balance. We can communicate directly with foreign parent companies and fit into your internal accounting software. In addition, we are glad to meet the tight report deadlines common to listed companies.
We provide tailor-made advice on Japanese tax laws. We also prepare various documents to be submitted to Japan Tax Office, such as Corporation Tax return, Consumption Tax return, Individual Income Tax return, and notifications. We also provide English tax computations summarizing your tax returns for non-Japanese speakers.
We support the establishment of your new Japan subsidiaries. We also provide a registered address (virtual office) if you do not have a office in Japan. Registration location is in the building owned by us for secure and safe registration.
Due to Anti-Money Laundering Measures, it is more difficult for foreign-affiliated Japanese subsidiaries to open their bank accounts. We facilitate your bank account opening based on our thorough understanding of your business and the major usages of your bank account.
We collaborate with HR specialists to prepare human resource regulations such as employee work rules, and provide payroll calculation services. We also handle procedures related to labor insurance and social insurance.
The scope of taxable income of non-Japanese nationals varies depending on their status under Japanese Individual Income Tax law, and the taxation in their home country may affect their tax amount in Japan. We pride ourselves on tailor-made advice about Individual Income Tax and the preparation of Individual Income tax returns, taking into account tax issues specific to non-Japanese nationals.
Integrity is our core value. We define integrity as honesty, courtesy, and responsibility. Tax knowledge and experience described below are merely techniques for acting with integrity. We always make sure that our action is complying with the core value, and we do not take any action that could possibly compromise this.
We are not just an English-speaking bookkeeper. Our extensive technical foundation is our tax knowledge and solid experience. For instance, we have thoroughly studied what is stated in the tax law and experienced what is not. We believe these enable us to provide our clients with the best tax advice for various situations.
Foreign-affiliated Japanese subsidiaries often have transactions with their foreign parent company, such as providing services to or paying dividends to the parent company, and these transactions have tax consequences also for the parent company. We provide advice considering not only Japanese taxation but also the taxation in the home country of the foreign parent company (in the case of dividends, foreign dividend exemption rule in the home country).
When establishing a company in Japan, a string of procedures such as accounting, taxation, bank account opening, social insurance, and legal matters are all required.
We are glad to provide one-stop, streamlined services through extensive collaboration with various specialists.
