Corporate Services in Japan

Research and Development Tax Incentives

Japan offers R&D tax credits for expenses generating intellectual property owned by Japanese taxpayers. The credit limit is 20% of corporate income tax liability for qualifying R&D activities, with an additional rate of up to 10% based on R&D spending ratio.

Increased Salary Tax Credit

Companies that submit a "Blue Declaration" tax report and meet certain conditions can enjoy a tax credit for increased salary and other employee-related expenses.

Revitalization Incentives

Taxpayers engaging in or expanding certain types of operations in regional areas (typically excluding Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya) may be eligible for tax incentives.

Local Government Contributions

As part of the Regional Revitalization Law, corporate taxpayers who submit a "Blue Declaration" may donate to approved regional contribution plans before March 31, 2025, and apply for tax credits on corporate, enterprise, and resident taxes.
