8 Corporate At a glance Residence A company that has its principal or main office in Japan is considered to be a resident corporation. Local management is not required. Tax basis A resident corporation is taxed on worldwide income; a foreign corporation generally is taxed only on certain Japansource income unless a foreign corporation has a permanent establishment (PE) in Japan in which case any income attributable to this PE is taxable. The corporate tax rate for a branch is the same as for a subsidiary. Tax year A corporation selects its fiscal year (FY) when it begins operations in Japan. The accounting period must not exceed 12 months. A branch s tax year generally is the same as the tax year of its head office. Corporate Indirect and Taxable income The taxable income of a corporation in each accounting period is the excess of gross taxable revenue over total deductible business expenses. No gain or loss generally is recognized for certain assets transferred between 100% subsidiaries. Capital gains Capital gains are taxable as ordinary income; capital losses generally are deductible. Slide 7 of 26
9 Corporate At a glance (cont d.) Losses Only 55% (50% for FYs starting on or after 1 April 2018) of a company s taxable income may be offset by net operating losses (NOLs). A small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) with share capital of no more than JPY100M is exempt from the NOL restriction, unless the SME is owned by a large corporation. The NOL carryforward period is nine years (10 for NOLs incurred during FYs starting on or after 1 April 2018). SMEs may carry back losses for one year. NOL carryforwards may be further restricted in certain situations, including a change of ownership of more than 50% in connection with a discontinuance of an old business and commencement of a new business. Non-deductible items In general, entertainment expenses, director s bonus, corporate tax payments are (permanently) not deductible for Japanese corporate income tax purposes. Corporate Indirect and Interest limitaton rules Deduction of interest expense (including certain guarantee fees) related to its foreign controlling shareholder (or certain third parties) is subject to limitation under Japan s thin capitalization rule and the earnings stripping rule. Incentives Various tax credits are available, including an R&D credit. There are tax incentives available for increasing wages and salaries which may be taken in the same FY if certain adjustments are made. Special tax incentives have been introduced for qualified companies doing business in designated regions/zones. Slide 8 of 26
10 2018 Tax Reform Summary of major revisions related to corporate Reform Disallowance of R&D and other incentives Revision of wage increase incentives Introduction of information collaboration incentives Detail For large companies that do not satisfy certain conditions (see details on following slide), the application of the R&D credit and certain other tax incentives that are otherwise available to the company will be disallowed. The tax credits for wage increases applicable to fiscal years beginning on or before 31 March 2018 which were set to expire will be revised and extended by three years. Under revised rules, a tax credit will be available to companies which raise wages and capital investment, and an additional credit will be available to companies which increase training costs. If a company obtains certification under a Productivity Improvement Act for an innovative data utilization plan and develops or enhances software according to that plan, the assets acquired and used for information collaboration will be eligible for either special depreciation or a tax credit.

14 Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) At a glance Taxable transactions JCT, similar to a European-style VAT, is levied on the supply of goods and services in Japan; the sale or lease of certain assets in Japan; the import of goods; and certain digital services provided in Japan by nonresidents. Rates The current rate is 8% (combined national and local tax rate) for taxable transactions and 0% in certain circumstances (e.g., export transactions). As of 1 October 2019, increase to 10% and introduction of multiple rates - will add complexity to accounting and tax compliance. Registration An existing company may elect to be a JCT payer if taxable sales for JCT purposes do not exceed JPY10M in the base period (two years before the current year, or the first six months of the prior year), subject to certain other conditions. In principle, a new company with share capital of less than JPY10M should be automatically exempt from filing JCT returns until taxable sales exceed JPY10M in the base period or a timely JCT payer election is filed. The election is binding for at least two taxable years. Other than this election, there is a registration requirement for automatically becoming a JCT taxpayer. Corporate Indirect and Filing and payment A company must file a JCT return and remit the applicable tax to the tax authorities if the company is a JCT payer (see above). The frequency of remittances depends on the total JCT collected. The amount of creditable input JCT generally depends on total sales, the taxable sales ratio and the method to determine input JCT. Other thresholds/tests also may be applicable. Introduction of EU VAT-type invoicing system from October Slide 13 of 26
15 JCT (cont d.) Small-enterprise exemption Example scenario A Co. is an Austrian resident company that exports good to Japan and sells them to customers in Japan (transfer of title in Japan).

16 Japan-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (Japan-EU EPA) Entry into force after ratification by EU Parliament and member states, along with Japan's Diet, expected in 2019 On 8 December 2017, the EU and Japan finalized their free trade deal, which was agreed in principle back in July Signatory countries The EU member states (28 countries, as of May 2018) and Japan as a consequence of Brexit the UK may not benefit from the EPA Impact of the agreement The EU will abolish about 97% of its tariffs, and Japan will do away with over 90%, including those on agricultural products, manufacturing-sector goods, medical devices and pharmaceuticals. This means that this EPA will have a very positive economic impact. Especially, as the applied duty rates of wine, pasta, chocolate, shoes and leather products are relatively high in Japan, this EPA will give EU manufacturers opportunities of duty saving. Corporate Indirect and For instance, Japan agreed to abolish its custom duties on processed pork meat (currently 8.5%) and to significantly reduce its tariffs on fresh pork meat imports (average 4.3%). Tariffs on beef and hard cheese will be reduced from 38.5% to 9% and from up to 29.8% to 0% respectively over 15 years. Existing obtacles to financial services, telecommunications, transport and to procurement in the railway sector will be removed. Current status The European Commission proposed to the Council to approve the Japan-EU EPA (April 2018). Slide 15 of 26

19 At a glance Basis In general, an individual who is domiciled or who has a residence in Japan for one year or more is a resident. A non- Japanese national who has spent five years or less in Japan in the preceding 10-year period is regarded as a nonpermanent resident. Residence Permanent residents are taxed on their worldwide income. Nonpermanent residents are taxed on all income except foreign source income that is not paid in or remitted into Japan. Nonresidents are taxed on their Japanese-source income. Filing status Joint filing is not permitted. Additionally, the tax rates are uniform and are not dependent on marital or other status. Corporate Indirect and Annual filing and payment Tax year is calendar year. Employment income and investment income generally are withheld at source. Selfemployment business income is calculated in a similar manner as for corporations, and must be self-reported. Penalties Japan imposes various penalties on taxpayers who underreport their total tax due and who fail to timely submit tax payments and tax returns Slide 18 of 26

Long-term gains of individuals from the sale of real property are taxed at 20%, and short-term gains are taxed at 39%.
