Payment of pre-tax dividends subject to 20.42%
withholding tax. This is fully creditable against
tax liability of the branch (and refundable if in
excess of tax liability). Pursuant to the 2022
Japan tax reforms, the WHT obligation on
dividends payable on or after 1 October 2023 to
domestic corporate shareholders that directly
own more than one third of the total shares in a
dividend paying entity is expected to be
abolished.
