System for tax-related support for foreigner-invested business
Concerning tax reduction/exemption for a foreigner-invested business, refer to the Special Tax Treatment Control Act, Chapter 5.
Such reduction/exemption applies only in the case of foreigner investment via the acquisition of newly issued stocks. A case of foreigner investment through acquisition of existing stocks or long-term (5 years or over) loan is not eligible for tax reduction/exemption.
Tax reduction/exemption is not applicable for a foreign corporation whose investment target is stocks listed on or registered with a securities market in a foreign country or stocks owned by a foreigner under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.
