Customer Testimonial ①

Japan is an amazing country. Everyone is kind and friendly, treating me, a foreigner, with equal respect. There are plenty of business opportunities

for foreigners, and if you manage your business well, success is within reach. However, if you neglect tax matters, you will suffer.

When my business in Japan started to gain momentum, I was suddenly audited by the tax authorities. I had underestimated the importance of taxes,

thinking I could somehow get away with it. But Japan’s tax office is extremely strict and thorough in their investigations, ensuring every penny

is accounted for.

Nonetheless, I was captivated by the charm of Japan and realized that its reputation for being an orderly and polite country stemmed from this

seriousness. Since entrusting Alesco Tax Corporation, experts in English and international business taxation, I can focus on my business

with peace of mind.

Customer Testimonial ②

I had always admired Japan through the internet, manga, and anime, and I had a strong desire to visit someday. Luckily, my dream came true, and when I arrived in Japan, I realized that Japanese people
are incredibly kind to foreigners. However, I soon discovered that English doesn’t get you very far.

Starting a business in Japan comes with many hurdles for foreigners, such as understanding taxes, establishing a company, and securing bank loans. I realized I needed the guidance of professionals

who could provide advice. When a friend recommended Alesco Tax Corporation, I found their staff to be fluent in English and their tax accountant to be understanding of foreign business.

Not only did they assist me with taxes, but they also helped me with critical aspects of establishing a company in Japan, such as determining the most tax-efficient business structure and crafting

a business plan for loan applications. They have become invaluable partners to me, and I greatly appreciate their support.

Customer Testimonial ③

Starting a business in Japan made me realize just how different it is from my home country in every aspect. From business customs to the work ethics of employees, I felt like I had landed on

a different planet as a foreigner. It’s not all bad; in fact, there are many wonderful and attractive aspects, such as the importance placed on customer service, integrity, and trust.

As someone who is serious about doing business, I found these qualities extremely appealing, but it took me quite some time to understand them. Regarding taxes, as long as you declare

them in accordance with the law, being a foreigner doesn’t make you subject to unfair treatment. However, finding a tax accountant who understands foreign business and is proficient in English is extremely rare.

Fortunately, being able to entrust my tax matters to Alesco Tax Corporation has been a significant help in developing my business. I look forward to continuing our partnership.
