Service Details

Tax Advisory (Pre-entry survey and requirement definition) is a service for companies considering overseas expansion or cross-border EC expansion to organize tax, commercial distribution, and operational design prior to entry. While confirming the target countries, sales channels, products handled, and logistics schemes, we also extensively check whether VAT/GST registration is required, invoice requirements, tax payment and filing practices, invoice issuance, processing of returned goods, and issues related to consignment sales and the use of agents. Then, we sort out the possible risks, necessary internal systems, system support, and operational burdens, and put them into a feasible entry plan. Our service is characterized by our ability to link the creation of decision-making materials for management to the definition of requirements for the execution department.
