In connection with the cash dividend, the Company withheld Japanese income tax at the highest domestic tax rate of 20.42% and remitted such tax to the Japanese tax authority. Based on the Company's consultations with the relevant tax office and the National Tax Agency, the Company understands that the applicable withholding tax treatment is as follows:
Applicable Withholding Tax Rates:
-
Non-residents and foreign corporations: 15.315%
(However, large individual shareholders1 are subject to 20.42%) -
Other shareholders2: 0%
(No withholding tax obligation for the Company)
Based on the above guidance, the Company is required to apply for a refund from the tax office for the difference between the tax amount currently withheld and the appropriate withholding tax amount, and subsequently refund such amount to eligible shareholders, subject to approval by the relevant tax authority and receipt of complete and valid documentation from shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are requested to complete the procedures outlined below.
