Laws and Taxes

In a country whose legal system may be unfamiliar to you the AHK Japan is a valuable source of information. We provide briefings on labor, tax and other relevant legislation. We can also refer you to external tax and legal experts, who will provide you with extensive advice in English or German on complex matters.
Verification_Header.jpg

Verification

Proof of identity is required when opening a bank account, depositing financial instruments or using a private safe at a credit institute in Germany. This requirement is based on the German anti-money-laundering law, which calls for the verification of identity of natural and legal entities outside of Germany. The AHK Japan undertakes the verification for persons and companies resident in Japan.
