Doing business in Japan: Japan tax considerations in various supply chain structures

Significant disruptions to supply chains are occurring all over the world, due not only to societal disruptions caused by COVID-19 but also to recent geopolitical events. These disruptions are causing multinational companies to reconsider their global supply chains.  While there was a relentless focus on efficiency in the past, now there is more focus on resilience.

As supply chain concerns take greater priority in the minds of global business leaders, it is worth looking at how global supply chains affect business in Japan and the implications for Japanese taxes. EY Japan will host a webcast on the Japanese tax implications of certain supply chain archetypes. This webcast will be of particular interest to any company considering changing their transactions, legal structure, or business activities in Japan to conform to their group supply chain or operating models.

We plan to cover the following issues that arise with certain supply chain archetypes:

• Transfer pricing
• Indirect tax (customs and import consumption tax)
• Direct taxes and incentives

We aim to leave time for a Q&A session at the end of the webcast.
