Tax, Legal and Other Bilingual Tokyo Services

During tax filing season (from January to March), there are English-language advisory services that you can take advantage of; please call the English-language desk at the Tokyo Tax Bureau and ask to speak to a representative about whatever issues you may have. While there is no guarantee that said representative will know exactly how to assist you, at the very least he or she can get you on the right track especially concerning individual tax returns, etc.

Of course, for those starting businesses or branches of existing businesses in Japan, it is best to consult with a firm like those listed above. While getting your individual or corporate finances in order, it may also be necessary to consider legal issues–please feel free to peruse the list of international Tokyo-area corporate law firms for more resources. Whatever you need, don’t worry–as Japan’s most international city, Tokyo has a large array of English-speaking services. Whether you are already living in Japan or planning to do so, it is never too early to take advantage of them.
