Japan’s real estate market continues to attract foreign investors, particularly from Hong Kong and China. The market continues to provide healthy returns and Tokyo and Osaka are consistently ranked in the top 2 or 3 cities in Asia in which to invest.

As Japan is a high tax jurisdiction with a complex legal regime, it is important foreign investors understand the tax and legal implications of investing in Japanese real estate, and the different structures available. This seminar examines the Japan tax and legal issues arising from the acquisition, holding and sale of real estate in Japan, considering the various tax structures used by offshore real estate funds, such as:

  • Offshore companies directly holding Japanese real estate
  • The Tokumei Kumiai structure
  • The Tokutei Mokuteki Kaisha structure

The seminar will also examine the potential impact of the OECD’s BEPS (Base Erosion & Profit Shifting) project on certain investment structures used by offshore investors.

About CLE Credit

Temple Law School is an accredited provider of continuing legal education (CLE) in Pennsylvania. Various states, including California and New York, recognize Pennsylvania CLE credits. However, attorneys are responsible for checking with the CLE board in their jurisdiction before attending the CLE seminar whether Pennsylvania CLE credits will count towards their CLE requirements and what their jurisdiction requires them to do to claim out-of-state CLE credits. Please inform us before the seminar if your CLE board requires anything other than a copy of the Pennsylvania CLE credit form and a certificate of attendance.
