Indirect tax advisory and compliance

Deloitte Tohmatsu's indirect tax compliance professionals employ their high level of expertise in the field of consumption tax to support consumption tax advisory and compliance in Japan. Through Deloitte's global network, we also provide efficient and effective support for overseas consumption tax and value-added tax (VAT/GST) reporting for Japanese companies operating around the world. We also offer advice on operating models and recommendations for technology, process, and automation improvements.

There has been an increased focus on consumption tax with the introduction of the consumption tax invoice system.

Real-time reporting requirements and increased regulation by tax authorities around the world are forcing companies to find more efficient and automated ways to manage their indirect tax compliance processes. These include value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), sales tax, use tax, and environmental tax.

Deloitte Tohmatsu's global indirect tax compliance professionals can help you understand the laws, regulations, and compliance obligations in your market countries through research, introduce technologies that contribute to accurate and timely tax payments, and minimize the risk of fines and reputational damage. We can help you comply with indirect tax compliance efficiently and effectively, including VAT registration support, preparation and submission of VAT returns, compliance with electronic invoicing and reporting requirements, and VAT tax audit assistance. We also provide advice on operating models, technology, and business process automation to improve efficiency.

In Japan, we provide highly specialized consumption tax advisory services and help companies achieve steady and effective consumption tax compliance by refining consumption tax returns and, as an opinion leader, we disseminate messages regarding legislation aimed at a global standard for consumption tax.
