Professional Vision

As a result of BEPS action plans, tax information will now be more shared between countries. It is now more crucial than ever to acknowledge the importance of management roles in the tax departments for Japanese headquartered companies. To keep track of global tax management needs, Japanese companies must consider using tax technology and other resources including reorganizing tax governance for overseas subsidiary tax directors and other relevant matters. Mr. Shirasaki will support Japanese companies as they face regulatory changes such as BEPS and will help them manage their international tax risks.
