Webinar 29: Tax & Public Procurement in Japan

December 03 2014

What kind of support services are available for EU SMEs doing business in Japan with regard to tax issues and for those who wish to enter Japan's lucrative Public Procurement market?

New support service for EU SMEs covering Tax Issues and Access to Public Procurement Market in Japan!

Launched in November this year and managed by the EU-Japan Centre, the Japan Tax and Public Procurement (JTPP) Helpdesk is a new service that intends to support European SMEs with tax-related issues and market access to the public procurement (PP) market in Japan.

With a potential market value of as much as 550 billion euro, Japanese public procurement remains an untapped market for European SMEs.  Although Europe-based multinational companies are active in the PP market through Japanese subsidiaries, many SMEs are still reluctant to enter this market due to lack of information and the complexity of procedures.  The JTPP Helpdesk aims to overcome these barriers by providing practical information, assistance with completing standard procedures and insights into market opportunities.  Through its “Ask-the-Expert” service, the JTPP Helpdesk also acts as an intermediary between European SMEs and selected expert services providers such as tax accountants, business administration offices and translators if it concerns a more complex inquiry. Also, the JTPP Helpdesk offers the following services:

  • Assistance with obtaining Supplier Qualifications
  • Public Procurement Market Quick Scan
  • Webinars and training on tax and public procurement
  • Online news services on recent developments
  • (Limited) Tender monitoring services
  • Practical guides and checklists

The webinar was targeted at EU SMEs considering entering the public procurement market in Japan and SMEs looking for support with tax related matters.
