The mission of CPTA (Zeirishi, in Japanese), as experts in matters of taxation, shall be to strive from an independent and fair standpoint, to ensure the fulfillment of the tax liabilities.
In order to deal with various tax matters between the government and taxpayers, we are making continuous effort with discipline and intention to respond to the public’s expectation.

With our professional back ground, we intend to increase social contribution by becoming members of an audit committee and/or external auditors at local governments, members of arbitration in the family courts, members of civil conciliation, or adult guardians and so on.
Furthermore, we conduct activities for contributions through local societies which support tax filing for tax-payers through taxation assistance, and those having tax education classes at local schools and societies.
