Dear IJCC Members,

We are delighted to inform you of an EBC Tax Seminar on 18th June at the Delegation of the EU to Japan, held by European Business Council in Japan. 

The Japanese Tax Reform 2018 produced further alignment between the Japanese tax legislation and recent initiatives of the OECD under its program to combat Base Erosion and Profit Shifting. In addition, the OECD’s Multilateral Instrument is now in process, and likely to be ratified by the Japanese government during this year. These developments will inevitably have a significant impact on the way in which companies plan and manage their tax policies and strategies whether in Japan or overseas.

On the individual front, the revisions of the Japanese Inheritance and Gift Tax have brought partial tax exemptions for many but not all foreign national long-term residents. The taxation of overseas rental losses has been picked up by the Japanese board of audit and may be subject to changes soon. Other issues of interest are capital gains on securities and, company car taxation and support of overseas dependents.​

EBC Tax Committee members from the tax profession and industry will introduce the tax impacts, explain planning opportunities as well as common pitfalls and discuss these issues in an exclusive Q&A session.
