【Establishing a Corporate Payroll in Japan with the Help of Professional Business Services】

 

 

 

 

 

Payroll departments in most companies generally lack the necessary resources and experienced professionals to manage their duties efficiently. Establishing a company payroll in Japan with the help of professionals from certified firms is an important decision, with high potential gains in return.

 

 

 

Many companies setting up a business branch in Japan do not need payroll services all year long. Those companies can certainly benefit from outsourcing their payroll duties. In this way, only when the appropriate services are needed, companies can hire payroll services experts to perform the tasks they need.

 

 

 

A company’s payroll is one of the most important aspects of a company’s operations. Aside from the fact that the timely and accurate distribution of employees’ salaries can have a tremendous impact on employee morale, an efficiently-managed payroll system can keep a company’s finances balanced, and on-track with internal financial objectives.

 

 

 

Outsourcing payroll operations to professional services providers can also ensure that foreign businesses are compliant with Japan’s complex compensation and taxation laws. Aside from the initial registration of the company and enrollment of employees with the Japanese Labor and Social Insurance systems, and the monthly calculation and payment of workers’ salaries, there are a number of yearly payroll activities that companies need to be aware of. These include the computation of year-end withholding tax adjustments, and the preparation and filing of the Shiharai-Chosho-Gokeihyo (Annual Withholding Tax Report for National Tax Purposes), among others.
