Over the past 25 years, change has come rapidly and profoundly as Japanese tax and fiscal policy has kept pace with and, in some measures, even surpassed the leading global tax policy trends. Today, a much greater level of Japanese technical tax skills is required for Japanese tax compliance excellence. Among the legislative developments that have contributed to the need for greater technical sophistication, even just in regard to tax compliance are: the Japanese transfer pricing and advanced pricing agreement rules, the thin capitalisation rules, the Japanese foreign tax credit and foreign tax credit limitation rules, the anti-tax haven CFC rules, the reorganisation rules, the change of control & business loss disallowance rules, the tax consolidation rules, the revised depreciation rules and the new foreign dividend income exemption rules. In addition, there have been so many new Japanese laws and new Japanese GAAP standards that have contributed to the further development and complexity of Japanese tax laws, including the new Japanese Company Law, a new Japanese Trust law, new stock option and treasury stock rules, new leasing principles, and many more.
