Multinational tax operations can be extremely complex. Companies are under increasing pressure to carefully manage their tax footprint through a global lens due to recent BEPS developments and other initiatives undertaken by the OECD and G20 member nations. Additional scrutiny surrounding international tax structuring highlights the importance of which is planning aligned with companies’ business strategies.
PwC’s International Tax Service group, comprised of professionals who have worked internationally with PwC member firms as well as those who are seconded from overseas PwC member firms, works closely with Japanese clients to solve international tax issues using the expertise of the PwC Global Network.
As Japanese companies increasingly invest and grow overseas, the tax issues that they face become increasingly complicated. Common tax issues arising from international expansion include local statutory taxation and compliance, the applicability of tax treaties, withholding taxes, transfer pricing arrangements, foreign subsidiary dividend exclusions, foreign tax credit computations, controlled foreign corporation reporting, and the tax haven rules. Our local country desk consists of team members specializing in the tax laws of different countries around the world. Leveraging our extensive network and expertise, we are able to provide valuable tax advice both from a Japanese as well as foreign tax perspectives to address these issues in the local context and more.
