Refund request support specialized for foreigners and non-residents
An international tax accountant specializing
in「non-resident refunds」will support your refund requests.
Refund Requests
When non-residents sell real estate, withholding tax (selling price x 10.21%) is deducted from the selling price. However, overpaid tax may be claimed by「refund requests」.
Expiration of refund requests is 5 years
As the expiration of refund requests is 5 years (5 years from March 15th following the year of real estate sale), this service is also applicable to those who have sold real estate within the past 5 years and have not yet claimed their refund.
Cases where withholding tax is exempted
There are cases where withholding tax is exempted for those who purchase real estate under the price of 100,000,000JPY and for the purpose of「residency」of the purchaser or its family.
A Quick Look at「Non-Resident Refunds」
(Actual Case) Real estate purchased for a price of 100,000,000JPY 5 years ago and sold for 120,000,000JPY
Let’s consult an international tax accountant regarding whether or not the case above has possibilities of a refund.
Foreigners residing overseas and Japanese citizens residing overseas are regarded as「non-residents」in Japanese tax laws, and are exempt from not only residency taxes but in some cases, also exempt or alleviated from income taxes due to utilization of the tax treaty.
Furthermore, in contrary to residents, income within Japan are withheld. Even after filing tax returns, it is possible to claim refund for tax withheld by requesting correction. In order to do so, it is important to understand the possibility and amount of refunds.

Please feel free to inquire to find out possibilities of refunds.
