The features of
Sakashita International Tax Accountant Corporation

Since our foundation in 2003, Sakashita International Tax Accountant Co. has been providing tax accounting services to enterprises that develop business in Japan. We belong to IECNet, a network of accountants and tax accountants in over sixty countries, and JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization). We are also business support member of governmental organization such as Tokyo and French embassy.
With much experience, we can address any needs of our clients timely and offer detailed information you need.

1.Specialized in international taxation

alt

More than 90% of our clients are foreign-affiliated companies, and our strength is our extensive experience in international transactions. While general local offices are often not familiar with tax matters related to international transactions, we provide accurate advice from experts who are well versed in international taxation. We reduce tax risks related to international transactions and are fully prepared to handle future tax investigations.

2.Consultation to large foreign companies with annual turnover of billion yen

alt

One-third of our clients are foreign-affiliated companies with annual sales of over 1 billion yen. We provide comprehensive advice on various issues that foreign-affiliated companies with annual sales of over 1 billion yen face, including cost accounting, management accounting, transfer pricing, and customs issues.
For clients who keep their books using ERPs such as SAP or ORACLE, we verify the validity of monthly accounting entries and financial statements, including journal entries automatically generated by the system.
General local offices tend to be unfamiliar with complex tax issues and overseas ERPs, and large tax accounting corporations have separate departments for tax returns, transfer pricing, and customs issues, with the offices scattered throughout. We provide a unified office to handle tax returns, transfer pricing, and customs issues.

3.Transfer pricing, customs/indirect tax consulting

alt

We provide transfer pricing consulting services specialized for Japanese subsidiaries of foreign companies, such as the creation of local files, the creation of notification items for ultimate parent companies, review of master files, etc. We also provide indirect tax consulting services for cross-border transactions that are not typically provided by local offices (support for responding to customs post-inspection investigations, consideration of the handling of corporate tax, consumption tax, etc. associated with transfer pricing adjustments, and tax return support, etc.).

4.Direct English correspondence with head office staff

alt

We explain specialized content directly to the head office in English, allowing for smooth communication with the head office. Any questions from the head office or questions about the tax system in Japan will be communicated directly to the head office in English.
When questions from the head office are answered through the customer, it can sometimes become a game of telephone and the head office may not receive the information accurately, but this prevents such a situation.

5.Fast and accurate processing

alt

We carry out tasks that require swift and accurate tax calculations, and deliver deliverables in plenty of time that can withstand an audit by an overseas-listed parent company.
You won't have to deal with situations where you can't get in touch with a staff member, where they respond slowly, or where deliverables are delivered so close to the deadline that you don't have time to review them in-house.
We also proactively suggest advance measures to prepare for future tax audits.

6.Feel free to ask questions at any time

alt

For clients with monthly involvement, we not only check transaction details but also conduct comprehensive book reviews from the perspective of compliance.

Even for those who are not involved monthly, we have a system in place where you can feel free to consult us about questions that arise from daily transactions and quickly resolve any issues.

It can be worrying to run your accounting alone without being able to consult with anyone. However, at large tax accounting firms, the people in charge often change, making it difficult to consult with us on a daily basis, and if you do consult with us, you may be charged a large amount. By establishing a system where you can consult with us easily at any time, we can eliminate your concerns about running your accounting alone.
