Tax Compliance

Basic Views

The Meiji Group's businesses are supported by many factors such as national and regional public infrastructure and services, markets, workers, resources and governments. We believe that appropriate tax payment is important, which is also a corporate responsibility in order to contribute to the social, economic and financial development of the countries and regions where we operate and to develop our business activities sustainably.

The Meiji Group has established the Meiji Group Tax Policy to comply with the tax laws and meet the expectations from stakeholders regarding appropriate tax practices.
This policy has been approved by the Chief Financial Officer through the Company's decision-making process.

As our operation globalizes and international transactions increase, we recognize the growing importance of response to transfer pricing taxation in controlled transactions. We have established operational rules for determining transfer pricing in accordance with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and reviews them as necessary to ensure that they are appropriate.

In addition, we are working to strengthen the knowledge of taxation and cultivate awareness of tax compliance through training and education to those in charge of tax. The tax department cooperates with the operating departments to ensure appropriate tax payments and reduction of tax risks.
