Kudan Partners Tax & Accounting Office provides Japanese tax support for non-resident individuals, overseas executives, and foreign owners of real estate in Japan.
We support Japanese tax matters including tax representative notice administration, Japanese income tax returns, rental income filings, capital gains tax filings on property sales, and fixed asset tax notice support. Each service is scoped and engaged separately.
Our service is positioned as Japanese tax compliance support for non-residents and overseas property owners, not as a simple mail-forwarding service.

- Non-resident owners of real estate in Japan
- Foreign investors who own rental property in Japan
- Overseas owners planning to sell Japanese real estate
- Japanese or foreign individuals living outside Japan
- Overseas companies or asset-holding entities with Japanese tax matters
- Owners who cannot receive or respond to Japanese tax notices in Japan
Our Services
Tax Representative in Japan
Our standard tax representative service mainly covers receiving specified Japanese tax notices, recording the notice name, issuing authority, and stated deadline, and sharing that information with the client. Tax filings, tax calculations, and responses to tax authorities require separate review and engagement.
Rental Income Tax Return
If you earn rental income from real estate located in Japan, you may need to file a Japanese income tax return. We support the preparation and filing of Japanese tax returns for non-resident property owners.
Capital Gains Tax Filing
When a non-resident sells Japanese real estate, Japanese capital gains tax filing may be required. We assist with reviewing purchase and sale documents, calculating taxable gains, and filing the relevant tax return.
Fixed Asset Tax Notice Support
Owners of Japanese real estate may receive fixed asset tax and city planning tax notices from local governments. We help overseas owners receive, understand, and manage these notices.
Why Work With a Japanese Tax Accountant
A tax representative can help receive specified tax notices and manage agreed tax representative procedures in Japan. Many overseas property owners also need tax filing or tax consultation support, which is handled under a separate engagement.
Kudan Partners provides separately scoped Japanese tax support so overseas owners can coordinate tax representative matters and Japanese tax filings with clear scope, fees, and responsibilities.
