Manabu Yajima leads the research and development (R&D) tax system team at Ernst & Young Tax Co.
With over 20 years of experience as a tax consultant, his wide-ranging knowledge goes beyond the R&D tax system. It includes corporate reorganizations, business succession planning, M&A tax due diligence and tax risk management.
Having supported numerous financial statement audits for over ten years, he has a wealth of experience in tax provisioning and reporting.
Manabu worked for the National Tax Agency as a special examiner and was responsible for inheritance/gift tax and corporate tax audits before joining Ernst & Young Tax Co.
Building a better working world
For me, building a better working world means helping clients to interpret and apply the tax law correctly. As a professional experienced in tax, I offer advice on the correct interpretation and application of the tax law.
Where ambiguities or multiple interpretations exist within these laws, I believe that guiding the most appropriate course of action with reference to past precedent and legislative intent benefits society.
I make recommendations for reforms to taxation systems if those systems produce unintended consequences.
