Tax Services for Expatriates:

Expatriate tax affairs can be particularly complex, involving both Japanese and home country regulations. For example, expats who are no longer residents of Japan are not subject to Japanese income taxes unless they have income sourced in Japan. (Note that non-residents who lived in Japan part of the year will not owe inhabitant tax, but must still file a year-end tax adjustment or return.) The fact that expat salaries are often paid from the country of assignment adds another layer of complexity, with potential tax implications under both Japanese and foreign regulations.

As a highly experienced and professional consulting group, we are well-equipped to handle these complexities. We provide a comprehensive array of services, carefully customized to meet your specific needs, including:

• Pre-assignment tax consultations for your home country
• Assessment of Japanese tax implications upon arrival
• Comprehensive analysis of tax liabilities and calculation of net take-home pay
• Preparation of individual withholding slips
• Assistance in obtaining a Japanese taxpayer number (Individual Number)
• Representation and support in tax investigations or notices

Whether you are an expat planning your move to Japan or a company managing a global workforce, we are here to provide the expertise and support you need for a seamless transition. Our goal is to simplify the complexities of expat taxation and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
