I understand that submitting this form does not create a client relationship.

By submitting this form, you acknowledge that the information provided will be used to review and respond to your inquiry. Please see our Privacy Policy for details.

Submitting this form does not create a client relationship or start paid work. A paid written review or another engagement begins only after we separately confirm the scope, total fees, payment timing, service start timing, contract period, renewal, cancellation and refund conditions, exclusions, and engagement terms in writing.

The legal obligation to pay Japanese taxes remains with the taxpayer or property owner. Kudan Partners does not advance tax payments, penalties, interest, government fees, bank charges, or remittance fees on behalf of clients. Refund receipt, holding, or onward payout to clients is not currently handled by Kudan Partners. If the matter requires Kudan Partners to receive, hold, or pay out a refund to the client, we cannot accept the engagement under the current service. Client fund custody, sale proceeds, rent, remittance handling, general mail receipt, and address lending are not included in the standard service.
