Which tax notices must my new Japanese company file after registration?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

A notification of establishment to the tax office within 2 months, a salary-payment office notice within 1 month if it pays salaries, and prefectural and municipal notices with local deadlines. To file blue returns, apply by the day before 3 months after incorporation or the end of the first business year, whichever is sooner.
