Many Japanese companies face the shrinkage of the domestic market and heavy tax burden . For this reason, itis becoming important to restructure the business and expand overseas for the company’s success. For many family companies, succession planning is also becoming vital to maintain and grow their businesses.
It is often difficult to deal with these challenges only with in-house resources, and current tax advisors may not have professional expertise in specialized matters such as international taxation.

Japan and other Asian jurisdictions now have complex transfer pricing rules and multinational companies are increasingly scrutinized by tax authorities for transfer pricing issues.
