Department Overview

We are looking for a future manager candidate for the International Tax Section of the Tax Department of Rakuten Group, Inc.

With the globalization of business and operations, tax systems vary from country to country due to national sovereignty. Recently, tax governance on a global level is strongly required, and tax enforcement by tax authorities in each country in the post-corona has become even stricter, making it extremely important to understand, collaborate, and gather information on the situation of overseas subsidiaries. In addition, with the digitalization of business, many countries are shifting from a traditional tax system approach to a new tax system approach that is digitally compatible, and we must also consider how this will affect the entire group and whether we are in compliance.

Since taxes have a significant impact on a company's cash flow, our activities go beyond mere tax reporting and financial reporting to include involvement in business startups and M&A from the planning stage, as well as the planning and execution of international tax strategies, which are also important management team issues. We are not limited to mere tax compliance. In addition, the work is not limited to mere tax compliance, but often requires close collaboration with the business, legal, accounting, and human resources departments, from planning to execution, allowing you to gain corporate knowledge and experience beyond the tax field.
