PropTax Japan
Your Specialized Tax Partner in Japan
Available Nationwide
Tokyo, Osaka, Niseko, Okinawa…. The location of your property does not matter. The tax services are provided Japan nationwide.
Online & Paperless Workflow
You shouldn’t have to deal with Japanese paperwork or international mail. Our entire process is streamlined and digital. From data submission to filing confirmation, everything is handled online in English.
The Rare Alternative Designed Specifically for You
Most tax firms in Japan are either over-designed and expensive for individual owners or too local to handle English-speaking clients.
The Only “Right-Sized” Choice for Individual Investors
Large Japanese firms are often designed for global complexity and charge accordingly.
Local tax offices are typically not designed for non-Japanese speakers.
We fill this gap, offering professional tax filing at a price that actually makes sense for your property income
Fully Licensed Japanese CPA & Tax Accountant
While our service is affordable and easy, it is not “automated” or unverified. Every filing is managed by a fully licensed Japanese CPA and CPTA. You get the legal peace of mind that comes with a certified professional, without the “Big Firm” price tag.

The “Assessment Ticket”
Your First Step to Clarity
Not sure if you are fully compliant or if you are eligible for a refund?
Purchase our Assessment Ticket for $500
Checking your current tax status before you take a new action is crucial to maintaining a stable position and optimizing your investment in Japan. However, the problem is that this type of tax consulting fee is often unpredictable and can easily exceed your budget.
Our “Assessment Ticket” is the solution to this dilemma.
Upon purchase, you will receive written professional comments within three business days regarding your current tax position in Japan, potential “tax traps,” and the best options available to you. You may also ask our licensed Japanese Tax Accountant follow-up questions for a limited period.
Please note that these written comments are provided based on questionnaires without due diligence. If you need full-range consulting, we will provide a new quotation (The $500 Assessment Ticket fee is automatically deducted from the new quotation).
If you proceed with our PropTax Japan package after purchasing the ticket, the $500 is automatically deducted from the package fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q 1 . What exactly defines a “Overseas” Investor ?
Under Japanese tax law, “Overseas” status is determined by the classification of “Non-resident” for individuals and “Foreign Corporation” for entities.
1. Individuals: Non-resident
A “Non-resident” is any individual who does not qualify as a “Resident.” (A “Resident” is defined as someone who has a domicile—their principal base of life—in Japan, or has maintained a residence there for one year or more.)
2. Corporations: Foreign Corporation
Classification is based on the “Head Office Location Rule.” Any corporation with its head office or principal place of business located outside of Japan is classified as a Foreign Corporation.
Q 2 . Do you offer services to foreign investors who reside in Japan?
Yes, but under our standard domestic service, not the “PropTax Japan” package.
Please note that tax compliance for residents is typically more complex than for non-residents. Japanese residents are generally subject to taxation on their “Worldwide Income.” Taxable income includes, but is not limited to, sources such as:
– Income from assets held in other countries
– Pensions received from your home country
– Salary or compensation received outside Japan
Additionally, the scope of taxation varies depending on your length of stay (specifically, whether you have resided in Japan for more than 5 years).
Therefore, we will need to review your situation individually. While we can typically assist with standard cases, we may need to assess whether we can take on engagements involving highly complex cross-border schemes.
