Payroll and social insurance outsourcing

At PwC Outsourcing Services LLC and PwC Labor and Social Security Attorney Corporation, we provide support for your payroll operations with our knowledge and experience in payroll calculations and social insurance. Additionally, we provide training for your HR team both in and outside of Japan by leveraging our extensive experience in solving various issues unique to multinational companies. On top of that, with all our services we provide full explanations in English designed to support international employees and HR staff members.

We provide our high-quality, one-stop services by collaborating with our PwC Japan member firms. In addition, any services that require a labour and social security attorney licence or a certified public tax accountant licence are provided by PwC Labor and Social Security Attorney Corporation or PwC Tax Japan, respectively.

Payroll calculations require extensive knowledge of labour laws, withholding income tax and social security. In light of the labour shortages in Japan, as well as frequent legal changes, the number of companies outsourcing their payroll operations has been steadily increasing in recent years. 

At PwC Outsourcing Services LLC, we provide full support for your payroll operations. Our staff members use their knowledge and experience in different areas to work together as a team, in collaboration with PwC Tax Japan and PwC Labor and Social Security Attorney Corporation. We provide one-stop services covering consulting for withholding income tax and social insurance, as well as HR, payment processing and the digital transformation of back-office operations.

We have a wealth of experience in assessing tax benefits and commissions unique to multinational companies, as well as handling gross-up and payroll calculations for non-Japanese employees transferring to Japan from overseas.
