Let's start with a quick conversation.

Tell us a bit about your company, the countries
you're planning to expand into, and your goals.

Why we ask first.

The right tax answer depends on your company's situation.
What you sell, where, and how much——
we can only answer once we know that.
It's just a few simple questions in chat.

Here's how it works.

We'll ask about your company and what's on your mind right now, one step at a time.

Based on what you tell us, we'll give you an estimated price.

From there, we'll propose a plan that fits your company.

You can attach screenshots too.

Notices from tax authorities, Amazon screenshots, sales data, marketplace details——
anything hard to put into words, you can just attach as-is.
Only you can view what you attach. The files themselves are automatically deleted after 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the consultation free?

There is no charge for using this screen. When a price is needed, we'll give you a guideline amount based on what you've told us. It is not a confirmed quotation.

Can I stop partway through?

You can pause at any time. Press "Save for later" at the bottom of the chat to keep your progress and continue afterward.

Who can see the images I attach, and when are they deleted?

Only you can view images or PDFs you attach, once logged in. The files themselves are automatically deleted about 6 months after upload. The record that a file was received is kept.

Does AI answer, or does a person?

AI (TAXMEN) drafts the first response. Before anything is treated as final, we'll ask you to confirm it's correct, and our staff will review before sending final guidance.

Can I consult in English?

Consultations on Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) and Attorney for Customs Procedures (ACP) proceed in English. Other topics are handled in Japanese.

When will I get a quotation?

Based on what you tell us in the conversation, we'll give you a guideline amount on the spot. A confirmed quotation will be provided separately after our staff reviews the details.
