Webinar: E-Preservation Act – Stay Tax-Compliant beyond 2024 (JP|EN)

9 November, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm JST

This webinar is organised by Austrian Business Council with SpCCJ’s participation.

With the 2021 Japan tax reform of the E-Preservation Act (Act on Book and Record Keeping through Electronic Methods or 電子帳簿保存法) a further step in digitalizing tax related processes has been taken. The changes will be more fundamental as the possibility to preserve records of so called “electronic transactions” in hard copy format has been abolished from January 2022, with the possibility of a deferred implementation over a period of two years. Accordingly, from 1 January 2024 taxpayers will be obliged to preserve “electronic transactions” in an electromagnetic format, which is accompanied by certain rules and standards for handling and storing information electronically.

This webinar will provide an introduction to the rules for electronic preservation for all types of company records, i.e. accounting books, scanned documents and electronic transactions, and will explore the available tools and measures to stay compliant for preserving records in an electronic format.

The format is a 10min English introduction in the main points relevant followed by a 30min Japanese explanation covering details of the new regulations.

Topics will inter alia include:

  • Definition of types of company records per the E-Preservation Act
  • Methods for storing information electronically per the type of records
  • Practical solutions for required systems and processes
