Consumption Tax Reclaims Expertise - Japan Specialists
Consumption tax (JCT) reclaim is commonly undertaken by overseas corporations with business-related costs in Japan. SANSEI is one of just a few Japan providers operating in this arena – and the only provider having put together a technical network of Japan specialists solely for this purpose.
The counterpart to refundable European VAT, consumption tax paid in Japan by corporate visitors amounts to colossal sums annually. And much of that is reclaimable. Each year overseas investors and business travelers lay out the equivalent of 100s of millions of US$ for: marketing, conferences, conventions, tradeshows, hotels and accommodations, rental cars and transportation, legal and professional services, translation fees, business equipment, machinery, short-term office facilities, and so on.
Contact SANSEI today and learn your consumption tax reclaim opportunities—and let our technical team manage the rest. (More vital information below and at services / japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) and VAT Refunds.)
