Payment outsourcing
We provide comprehensive support for the cash management activities of foreign-owned companies and start-ups that have set up or are looking to set up a new company or branch in Japan, as well as invoice payment and tax payment services.
Business activities involve tasks such as paying bills, taxes and salaries for employees. However, many aspects of the payment process using the Japanese banking system, such as the use of the Japanese language and affixing bank seals, are very difficult for non-Japanese companies to understand. At the same time, many Japanese companies face the challenge of strengthening internal control while downsizing their back-office workforce, which is creating the need to streamline business operations.
Against this background, the demand for electronic tax payments has been on the rise in recent years, and an increasing number of businesses are seeking one-stop services from tax filing to payments. At PwC Outsourcing Services LLC, we provide optimal cash management services tailored to your needs, as well as support for streamlining your operations and internal control. We collaborate closely with PwC Tax Japan and PwC Labor and Social Security Attorney Corporation to provide one-stop support for your cash management processes.
