Expanding overseas presents significant opportunities for companies, but developing a precise and timely strategy in an unfamiliar business environment can be challenging without expert guidance.
Specifically, the first consideration is what type of organizational structure is best. Should you establish a branch office, create a new overseas subsidiary, or maintain a representative office? It’s essential to consider the entry method with minimal risk from an international tax perspective. Additionally, you need to think about how to repatriate profits earned abroad. How to bring back investments to Japan with minimal tax burden, whether through dividends, interest, royalties, or as consideration for services, needs to be determined. As transaction volumes increase, you may also need to consider measures such as tax haven regulations and transfer pricing.
At each stage, involvement of experts knowledgeable in taxation and accounting becomes crucial. We aim to provide services that directly contribute to the success of businesses by offering advice to minimize tax-related risks associated with international expansion in this complex landscape.
