Frequently Asked Questions

【Koshida Accounting Firm Column Date:

Can I ask your office to prepare a Japanese tax return on a one-time basis?

Yes. Our office accepts certain one-time tax return engagements in Japan.

For example, an employee who has overpaid Japanese income tax may be able to file a tax return to claim a tax refund. We can review the situation, determine whether a refund may be available, and prepare the Japanese tax return when appropriate.

The requirements for a tax refund in Japan depend on the individual’s income, deductions, withholding tax, and other circumstances.
