Japan Branch Office Features, Registration Procedure and Scope of ActivitiesSarkar Office Japan KK
Japan branch office is the simplest model for a foreign company to establish a legal entity for commercial business operation purposes in Japan. In terms of the range of business activities allowed, there are no basic differences between a branch office and that of a Japanese domestic company such as Kabushiki-Kaisha [K.K. Co.] (Joint-stock corporation) and or Godo-Kaisha [G.K. Co.] Limited Liability Company (LLC).
The tax applies on the net income generated in the Japan branch office as per local regulation, and rates applied are the same as those of a domestic company.
The legal procedures for closing a foreign company's branch office should be completed when upgrading a branch office to a subsidiary company or when the parent co (head office) decides to terminate Japan's business operation.

As an employer or a registered business operating in the Philippines, it is mandatory for you to register your every new employee or update your existing employees’ data with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Social Security System (SSS) Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC) or Philhealth , and Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) also known as Pag-ibig.
This document outlines 10 steps to take before registering a business in the Philippines: 1) determine restrictions on foreign ownership, 2) choose a business structure, 3) check foreign exchange policies, 4) get necessary government approvals, 5) set up a business location, 6) study applicable national and local taxes, 7) research regulations for the intended industry, 8) evaluate import/export controls, 9) inquire about incentives from investment agencies, and 10) seek legal advice from a Philippine law firm.
Employees stay at companies for many positive reasons including good benefits and incentives, feeling valued through recognition and respect, having work-life balance, engaging in exciting and challenging work, enjoying great relationships with superiors, feeling inspired to work smarter through mentoring, being paid well, finding working environment satisfaction, and experiencing career growth through learning and development opportunities.
