Section 3. Taxes in Japan
3.5 Tax treaties
Japan has concluded tax treaties with many countries for the purposes of avoiding double taxation of income internationally and preventing tax evasion.
The provisions of tax treaties supersede those of domestic law. In determining the tax liability in Japan of individuals and corporations domiciled in a country with which Japan has a tax treaty, the location of the source of income deemed taxable income under Japanese law (specifically the provisions concerning where the income upon which taxation is based is generated) may at times be amended to accord with these tax treaties. Provisions have also been established in Japan for reducing the tax on, or exempting from tax, various types of income sourced in Japan.
