When companies operate in foreign countries, they are required to understand and comply with the tax system in those countries as well as understanding and complying with tax laws and regulations in their home countries. In addition, tax risk related to overseas activities and tax cost generated in Japan and abroad can decide whether or not business activities succeed.

As the tax system in each country rapidly changing, and tax audits are becoming increasingly stringent, it is becoming extremely difficult to reduce tax cost while obtaining the latest information necessary to address tax risk and complying with laws and regulations without support.
