Sample of “Company Registration Certificate” of Japan Kabushiki-Kaisha [KK Co] (joint-stock corporations) registered without a local resident director under the new regulation effective Mar’15. Kabushiki-Kaisha, KK Co is the only format of legal entity that has been allowed by the Japanese government to establish & register in Japan without a local resident director. Minimum requirement for establishing a subsidiary co in Japan is to have a local physical address (not PO Box) and a local resident in Japan. Please note effective Mar’15 the Japanese government has allowed foreign company and or individual to register Japanese KK Company with director(s) and shareholders residing abroad and the mandatory requirement of at least one local Resident Director has been relaxed! (But for the procedure of “paid-up capital” of the local co a local resident shareholder is required at the time of registration & upon completion the share of local resident can be transferred back to foreign co or individual for holding 100% share in the Japan KK Co.). And thereafter the reporting to National & Local Tax authorities is done with 100% foreign shareholding. (However, on the Bank of Japan reporting of foreign investment it will only reflect the fact at the time of registration i.e. 99+1 share!) The practical hurdles that the foreign owned KK co without a local resident director might face (depending upon the case) in the areas such as: • In opening a Corporate bank a/c in Japan; and depending on the bank & local KK company’s proposed activities the situation may vary case by case! JFYI, local banks are very strict in opening up an ordinary corporate bank account even for local Japanese company owned by the local citizen or resident. Usually it takes about two(2) weeks for them to check the documents and to evaluate to form their final decision. • And the perception of local business partner(s) and or client(s) in Japan about the foreign owned legal entity (KK Co) without any local resident director for doing business in Japan! This would also going to vary case by case depending upon the new company’s purpose and activities in Japan!
