Branch Office

In terms of the range of business activities allowed, there are no basic differences between branch office and domestic corporations. Taxed on branch income only but rate is same as local co. For registration there is no requirement to establish statutory officers / management body, it only needs a local address & a Representative in Japan (must be a resident of Japan). In general, transfer of operational funds between the branch and its head office can be made without restrictions, and is not subject to withholding tax.
Subsidiary Company
A foreign company willing to establish a subsidiary company may choose from the followings:
(a) Joint-stock corporation (Kabushiki-Kaisha) [K.K.]
(b) Limited Liability Company (LLC) (Godo-Kaisha) [G.K.] or similar entity stipulated by Japan's Companies Act.
A subsidiary is a separate legal entity from the foreign company, therefore foreign company will bear the liability of an equity participant stipulated by law for all debts and credits generated by the activities of the subsidiary. Minimum requirement for establishing a subsidiary co in Japan is to have a local address (not PO Box) & a local resident director.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A limited liability partnership (LLP), is not a corporation, but a partnership formed only by the equity participants, who have limited liability. Taxes are levied on profits allocated to equity participants but no tax on LLP. The format is normally used for carrying out a time bound project.
