Hourly Consulting
We can offer more than just tax return filing and monthly services. We listen in detail to your specific situation and plans, and explain or advise on appropriate tax implications accordingly. For example, you can consult with us on an ad-hoc basis in a variety of cases, such as:
- Check whether you have tax liability in Japan.
- When and how much tax will be levied depending on your future plans.
- Those who have a contract with another tax accountant but would like a second opinion only on international tax matters.
- Planning to emigrate and wanting a tax simulation.
- Grab a simple overview of the Japanese tax system that may apply to you.
- Resident, permanent resident, or non-resident? And from when to when?
- How does the foreign tax credit work for your case?
- Applicability of tax treaties that vary by country.
- Need tax simulations.
- The tax office has started a tax investigation, but you don’t know what to do.
Charge rate : 30,000 yen per hour + tax
We will choose the method of communication according to your preference. However, especially at the beginning, we recommend online conversation or a face-to-face meeting at our office, all of which can be done in English. If the details of your question are quite clear, email is also acceptable. It may also be helpful to send us a summary of your questions by email before the meeting to improve efficiency.
In many cases, a one- or two-hour consultation will clearly outline what you want to know. However, responding to tax audits and detailed tax simulations often takes at least 7-8 hours.
Moreover, if a contract for declaration work or monthly services is decided after a one-hour consultation, the one-hour consultation fee that you have already paid can be applied to the fee for the contracted service.
