Yukio Kagawa(Japan Certified Public Accountant) Office

SERVICES

CONSULTANCY

We undertake feasibility studies for a wide spectrum of investment projects, obtaining finance under investment incentives legislation, mergers and acquisitions, the formation and liquidation of companies, including offshore ones, financial analysis, strategic programming and valuations.

ACCOUNTANCY

We review the accounting work of our clients' staff, ensuring that their financial statements meet with both the client's requirements as well as with legislative and accounting standards.

We also undertake the installation of accounting software and the related hardware, the application of accounting charts of account, cost accounting as well as the keeping of payroll on an outsourcing basis.

Finally we certify our clients' compliance with the Books and Records Code. This is an immense chapter in Japanese accounting and a source of multiple fines by the fiscal authorities

TAXATION

The Japanese tax system is very complicated more so due to the continuous amendments it undergoes. Being well informed on a continuous daily basis, is therefore, a must.

We take pride that we follow this golden rule closely - but this is only half the story. Applying this knowledge is the other half. We consider tax planning as a very essential aspect of anyone's future - individuals or businesses alike. Taxation in Japan is beginning to attain its right dimension in terms of a macroeconomic policy tool, thus affecting everyone directly whether he is an individual or a business. In this respect it is fairly acceptable to be able to plan ahead by using a tax expert's knowledge. Perfectly legal tax minimisation is the end result.

We provide advice and planning on Income Tax, Corporation tax, Inheritance tax and Value Added Tax.

Additional services are available, such as: "

Tax audits aiming at protecting a business from being surprised at a sudden tax audit by the fiscal authorities. As tax audits are carried out by the fiscal authorities at irregular intervals, sometimes every 10 years, the business in question may not be in a position to know the approximate additional taxes it will have to pay due to the rejection of certain expenses. Our job is to foresee and calculate such additional taxes and report to our client.


AUDIT (Suito LLC)>>>>


We do not see an audit as just an obligation imposed by the state or by a lending bank. For us an audit presents the opportunity and the challenge to perform an analytical review of the company's systems, its organisation and its performance.
At the end of the day the audit becomes a cost effective and a very useful exercise, for the company's directors and shareholders.

Statutory audits
We audit the accounts of companies for which an audit is a statutory obligation, including listed companies, insurance companies, school etc.

Non-statutory audits
These special non-statutory reports cover a variety of cases such as acquisitions, valuation of shares, mergers and reconstructions.
