About GEPAS
We are a highly specialized organization dealing with overseas assets and international inheritance
A career group with sharpened expertise.
Overseas Asset Management and Tax Planning at the entry point.
Insightful experts for tax audits at the exit.
In our country, we are becoming more familiar with the procedures for the preservation of overseas assets, the taxation of international inheritances, and the actual filing of tax returns.
As is the case today, the cross-border flow of assets and people is becoming a similar issue and concern for people in both countries.
At the same time, tax audits on international assets have also been conducted at a higher rate in Japan over the past few years.In practice, however, the field of international asset taxation requires not only knowledge but also practice and practical experience, yet the number of tax accountants specializing in this field is very limited.
Under these circumstances, we are a tax corporation that can handle everything from asset preservation to attending investigations, specializing in international asset taxation.
