Income Tax Law and Consumption Tax Law

#Note: The above compensation amount does not include the amount equivalent to the consumption tax and local consumption tax imposed on compensation for the provision of services by an administrative scrivener pursuant to the provisions of the Consumption Tax Law (Law No. 108, 1988) and the Local Tax Law (Law No. 226, 1950) (external tax. ).

*The withholding obligation of income tax with respect to the remuneration of attorneys, etc. under Article 204 of the Income Tax Law does not apply to this remuneration provision.
Therefore, since we do not calculate income tax, each client is not required to withhold income tax at the time of payment.
