Preparation for VAT registration with high adoption rate

We have provided VAT registration services to many companies since our establishment. We are proud to say that we are probably the most experienced company in Japan. For this reason, we are often asked to handle cases in which a company has failed in VAT registration in the past and has been transferred from another company.

In such cases, we often receive the following questions from many companies.

How long does it take to get a VAT number?
Can you handle the entire VAT registration process?
Can I get a VAT number even though I cannot submit the requested documents?

We understand these questions to a certain extent, but the reality is that it is quite difficult to obtain a VAT number. This makes it difficult to obtain a VAT number easily.

For this reason, if you aim to obtain a VAT number on the targeted date, you should submit your documents as early as possible. Additionally, if you believe that your company does not have enough credit, you should submit as many documents as possible in English or Japanese.

With our 14 years of experience and knowledge of the issues that Japanese companies face, we have the know-how to submit documents that are highly likely to be accepted in each country. On the other hand, there are companies that are not able to prepare the documents, and there are companies that do not want to understand even after we explain the same thing to them over and over again.

We need to understand that VAT registration is not a right for everyone, but a number that must be applied for, adopted, and passed in order to move forward.

If you do not have a tax number, you cannot proceed with your business beyond that point. It is also impossible to request the tax authorities to increase the adoption rate or speed up the application process. Therefore, we would like to raise your awareness and work with you to achieve early VAT registration.
