I have a problem to know what taxe"s I have to pay and who? I attended a meeting yesterday which was supposed to clarify the topic, and this is even more blur. Thank you if you have any link of ressources. Hi, I found your article quite intresting and I am currently runing my business in Yokohama, a web TV about fashion in Japan.

Especially, the Koizumi government, which is considerably following America, majorly changed the system framework from a priori regulation to self responsibility as seen in the new Corporation Law. The government is hastily pushing for globalization and a free economy, but fairness is being left by the wayside. This can be understood by looking at the corporations that abuse the loopholes in deregulation and the defective systems that cannot monitor them as seen in the Aneha and Livedoor scandals.

There was a great feature in <em>Shukan Diamond</em> last summer covering all the changes, but that's in Japanese, as are the countless books that have already been published about the changes. One good resource is <a href="http://www.jetro.go.jp/en/invest/setting_up/">JETRO's website</a> on setting up shop in Japan. I've also been listing some of the notable changes in the Wikipedia articles on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabushiki_kaisha" rel="nofollow">KKs</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godo_kaisha" rel="nofollow">GDKs</a>.
