understanding Japanese withholding tax

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tax law is always difficult to understand. One of the areas that caused us a fair bit of grief was coming to understand if we had to withhold partial payment for overseas parties due to anti-money-laundering concerns. When I finally came to understand the law, I put together an article on the subject. Today I've just updated it.
