About PwC Tax Japan

Message from the CEO

Amid recent geopolitical changes, companies are reviewing their supply chains and reshaping their business operations with economic security in mind. These developments are having a significant impact on corporate tax functions, making tax-related challenges increasingly sophisticated and complex. At the same time, advances in technology, including AI, are fundamentally transforming the way tax work is performed. As data utilisation and process automation continue to progress, expectations are rising for more efficient and advanced tax processes.

As global minimum tax rules are introduced across more jurisdictions, compliance with evolving international tax requirements has become a key management priority for companies engaged in cross-border transactions, alongside transfer pricing and customs matters.

Against this backdrop, companies need to bring together advanced tax expertise and technology to manage tax matters quickly, effectively and with a global perspective.

At PwC Tax Japan, we are also advancing the use of AI-centred technology as a key management priority. Guided by PwC’s purpose—“To build trust in society and solve important problems”—we support our clients in turning change into a source of competitive advantage and achieving sustainable growth. As a trusted business partner, we are committed to helping our clients shape the future and create lasting value.
