Tax treatment in Japan
In Japan, incorporation costs are classified as deferred assets to be amortized in the future.
There is no useful life or deadline for amortization, and it is optional when to expense them.
Caution
Please note that receipts or evidence are required for each expense.
Also please be careful with the timing of these costs, as sometimes they could not be recorded if the expense occurred too long ago.
