You established a company but haven’t kept any accounting records.
Your current accountant is over-charging you because other accountants cannot speak English.
You don’t want to pay high fees to a tax advisor, but also don’t want to overpay taxes.
You missed the tax filing deadline already…

That's why we've done everything we can to minimize our fees and offer the pricing structure you see here.
We welcome you to compare us with other tax accountant firms before deciding.

Corporate Filing Fee Schedule

All of our filings are done electronically via e-Tax.
Corporate Tax Filing Fee includes the preparation financial statements and the preparation of corporate income tax and local tax returns, account item schedules, a business overview report, and tax payment slips.
If you haven’t entered your accounting data yourself, or if adjustments/additional journal entries are needed, a bookkeeping/adjustment fee of ¥5,500 (tax included) per 100 entries applies.(Example: 80 entries → ¥11,000, 140 entries → ¥16,500)
If your company is subject to consumption tax, an additional consumption tax return preparation fee of ¥22,000 (tax included) applies. If you are not a taxable entity, no consumption tax filing is required and no fee is charged. In most cases, this fee does not apply if the company is dormant or has annual revenue below ¥5 million.
Completed data will be sent as PDFs by email. Printed and bound copies are available for an additional ¥3,300 (tax included).
Shipping and travel costs may be charged separately if applicable.

Key Points About Corporate Tax Filing

Many business owners find themselves in one of these situations: the company was set up but barely operated; transactions occurred but no records were kept by the time the filing month arrived; or the owner understood bookkeeping and planned to file independently, only to find the actual tax return forms too complex to handle alone.

However, this cannot be a legitimate reason for failing to file within the deadline. If you do not file within the deadline, non-filing additional tax and delinquency tax will naturally be imposed.Also, if you file late or do not file, under corporate tax law, approval for blue returns for the business year related to that filing will be canceled retroactively. (In practice, if there are two consecutive business years without submitting the return on time, approval is canceled for the business year from the second year onward.)

Once Blue Return status is revoked, you lose significant benefits such as the carryforward deduction for net operating losses, the right to corrections based on records review, and the ability to provide reasons for reassessment notices. This can result in serious financial disadvantages. Additionally, those who try to file on their own often find that corporate tax rules differ substantially from sole proprietorship accounting — particularly around officer compensation, revenue recognition, and depreciation. Even small errors in these areas can lead to significant back-tax assessments.

The complexity of corporate filing is precisely that you can't simply assume 'we didn't make much, so we're fine.'

About the Corporate Resident Tax (Per-Capita Levy)
Even loss-making corporations are generally required to pay a minimum fixed amount of corporate resident tax — the per-capita levy (均等割) — amounting to at least ¥70,000 per year combined across prefectural and municipal taxes (excluding certain special environmental taxes).

However, under the Local Tax Act, this obligation applies only to corporations that maintain an establishment with personnel and physical facilities where business is continuously conducted. If no business activity takes place, there is no obligation to pay.

Furthermore, since this tax is calculated on a monthly basis based on actual operations, you only owe it for the months in which business was actually conducted.

In short, if your company was not operating, you do not owe the per-capita levy.
Note, however, that you may be required to submit a dormancy notification or, depending on the jurisdiction, a written statement to the relevant local tax authority.

About Corporate Tax Filing
If your company generates no profit, no corporate tax is owed — so it's only natural that If your company generates no profit, no corporate tax is owed — so it's only natural that there's no tax payment obligation while dormant. However, even with no taxable income, the obligation to file a return remains as long as the company exists as a legal entity.

In other words, even if there is no profit, failing to file on time — or filing late — will still result in retroactive revocation of Blue Return (青色申告) status under the Corporate Tax Act for the relevant fiscal year. (In practice, if returns go unfiled for two consecutive fiscal years, revocation applies from the second year onward.)

Even if your company isn't profitable this year or is effectively dormant, you may still be classified as a taxable entity for consumption tax purposes based on your revenue from two fiscal years ago. If that's the case and you fail to file — or file late — failure-to-file penalties and late payment interest will apply. This is an area that requires careful attention.

Many companies start out with a monthly retainer contract with a tax accountant, only to cancel it later — often because the fees felt high relative to the services received.
Relieved as you may be not to pay the monthly retainer, the filing deadline still arrives regardless.

For those who had their books partially handled by a previous tax accountant or accounting firm and don't want to pay for a full year of services all over again, we will not charge a bookkeeping or journal-check fee for any portion of the data already entered by that previous firm.

We build on the work already done by your previous accountant and complete the filing efficiently — keeping costs reasonable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

Why are our fees so low ?

A

Our price is not cheap, but reasonable. You should ask why some accountants charge foreigners much more than what they charge for their Japanese clients! We don't take advantage of business owners who don't speak Japanese.

Also, does paying a high retainer fee actually lower your taxes?
No, it doesn't — and frankly, it shouldn't. Tax law is supposed to be applied fairly and equally.

The very first principle you learn when studying tax law is the concept of tax equity. But is taxation truly equitable in practice? Not entirely. It's impossible to draw a clear black-and-white line for every economic transaction by simply applying legal provisions — as the vast number of court precedents makes clear.

A tax accountant's job is to examine each of your daily transactions, make judgment calls, and file your return alongside you. Because those judgment calls vary, it's only natural that tax liabilities differ from one accountant to another. (Which means, in a sense, the system isn't perfectly fair.)

That said, tax accountants are professionally obligated to minimize your tax burden through legal means. An accountant who doesn't pursue tax savings is, in effect, neglecting their duty — and a diligent accountant should arrive at a similar tax outcome as any other professional doing their job properly.

Certainly, when complex tax interpretations are involved, the difference between accountants can be significant. But that's only relevant when transaction volumes are large and tax amounts are substantial. When a competent accountant files a return with a tax liability in the tens of thousands of yen, it's highly unlikely that the outcome would differ dramatically from another diligent professional's filing. (Unless professional duties are being neglected — then yes, it can vary greatly.)

So if your filing is once a year, the lower the fee, the better — and that's exactly why we keep ours affordable.
We'd also add that our business philosophy, ongoing cost-cutting efforts, and high labor allocation ratio all contribute to this.

Q

Is quality assured at this price?

A

We are a tax corporation with 4 tax accountants and over 50 staff members. Our services cover corporate filings, individual filings, and inheritance filings, handling over 2,000 cases annually.

We conduct about 20 tax audits per year, with no history of issues.
