Tax credit by increasing gross salary payment

If you increase gross salaries of your labor force from the previous year you may be entitled to a tax benefit.

Lump-sum depreciation of small assets

SME can fully expense a fixed asset when it is acquired if the purchase price is less than JPY 300,000.

Special tax depreciation for certain assets
