Corporate Tax Agent

Overview


Foreign corporations that do not have an office in Japan and have tax obligations in Japan must appoint a tax agent to comply with corporate tax-related requirements. The tax agent will submit tax returns, make tax payments, and receive notifications based on the company's delegation. However, the tax agent does not automatically provide tax advice.

Main Themes


Cases where a tax representative for corporate tax is necessary: When earning income from Japanese sources, selling or transferring assets, receiving rental income from Japanese real estate, or having a consumption tax obligation without a base in Japan, it is necessary to appoint a tax representative.

Responsibility of the Tax  Agent:I will be responsible for the submission of corporate tax returns, payment of taxes, receipt of refunds, and communication with tax authorities.

Restrictions: If the taxpayer representative does not have a tax accountant qualification, they cannot provide the preparation of tax returns or tax advice.
