Paying taxes overseas, reliably.
OPTi takes care of the tax payment procedures for VAT and sales tax in each country on your behalf.
As a tax administrator, we provide total support to Japanese companies for overseas indirect tax compliance.
Increased complexity of overseas tax payment procedures and increased risk of delinquency
With the expansion of cross-border e-commerce and the establishment of overseas offices, an increasing number of companies are required to pay taxes directly to tax authorities in various countries. However, remittance methods, currencies, and deadlines differ from country to country, and the risk of overdue taxes and fines due to inadequate procedures is a serious management issue.
This is the best choice for people like you.
Companies that have started cross-border EC and are obliged to pay taxes in each country
Companies wishing to centralize tax procedures in multiple countries
Companies that do not know how to send money to overseas authorities
Multinational companies with complicated tax payment deadlines to manage
Accounting departments that want to eliminate the risk of delinquent taxes and fines
Service Strengths
Tax Due Date Management for Each Country
Tax due dates in more than 170 countries are managed centrally, and alerts are sent out two weeks prior to the due date. Holidays, extensions, and system changes in each country are also reflected in real time, preventing overdue tax due dates from occurring due to inadvertent overdue payments.
Reduce remittance risk
We ensure that remittances are sent to tax authorities in each country. We handle the entire remittance process, including confirmation of the destination account, currency conversion, and confirmation of receipt, so there is no risk of erroneous or undelivered remittances. With only one remittance to us, you can complete your tax payments to all target countries.
Prevention of Delinquent Taxes
Through a combination of deadline management and reliable remittance execution, we reduce the risk of overdue taxes and fines to zero. In the unlikely event that a problem arises due to processing delays on the part of the authorities, we will negotiate directly with the authorities to protect your interests.
Service Details
Our tax payment agent service provides a one-stop service for VAT/sales tax payment procedures to tax authorities in various countries, including remittance and confirmation of receipt of payment. We support a wide range of companies with overseas tax obligations, from cross-border e-commerce businesses to multinational manufacturing companies.
The specific flow of the service is as follows: First, we determine the amount of tax due based on the results of tax returns in each country, and notify the customer of the tax payment schedule and amount. After receiving a lump-sum remittance from the client to our designated account, we execute the remittance in the local currency to the account designated by the tax authorities in each country.
After remittance, we confirm receipt of the money and check it against the tax records of the tax authorities in each country. In the unlikely event of a discrepancy in the amount or an unreported amount, we will promptly contact the authorities and take corrective action.
