With the growth of a borderless economy and borderless business operations, efforts to build supply chains across borders and engage in electronic commerce have become increasingly dynamic. In contrast to the speed that corporate activities and investment activities have gained in expanding into other countries, the international rules on taxation, represented by national tax systems and tax conventions have failed to keep up with the change, resulting in various problems pertaining to taxation of multinational corporations. In addition, industrialized nations face the need to increase their tax resources, caused by the pressure to reduce their fiscal deficits as a result of low tax revenues from slow economic growth and huge fiscal deficits resulting from activities to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Reinforcement of compliance related to tax affairs has become a global movement.

 

In Japan, tax payment is regarded as a social responsibility of business corporations, and tax ethics are highly regarded in the Japanese business sector. At the same time, however, these corporations suffer from relatively low awareness toward global tax planning and management of tax affairs. Amid the rapid changes in taxation, strategic action is necessary regarding international tax affairs. Otherwise, businesses must bear huge taxation risks notwithstanding their sense of corporate ethics.

 

Tokyo Kyodo Accounting Office offers a full range of advisory services in accounting and taxation related to international commerce and investment. We tap into our own network of top law and accounting firms overseas that we have developed in the course of our history to develop and propose schemes that simultaneously resolve accounting and taxation issues in Japan and those in relevant countries and support our clients in strategic taxation management.
