Payroll CalculationsSolutions

 

Payroll processing in the United States is much more complicated than that in Japan.  A business entity is required to submit various federal and state payroll tax returns quarterly and annually.  Also, various registrations are required by federal and states, labor departments, and prompt payment of withholding taxes is necessary to avoid penalties.  This can be a heavy burden for a Japanese expatriate who has to manage complicated payroll practices and paper work, while he/she is also engaged in other important business.

​

Also, unlike in Japan, in the U.S. individuals and their spouses are required to submit individual tax returns once a year.  Under the tax laws, U.S. residents are required to report worldwide income, and nonresidents are required to report U.S. source income.  However, there are various strategies to take advantage of tax benefits, and it is crucial to determining the most suitable tax position by considering various elements including U.S.-Japan tax treaties.
