We strive to sustain and increase compliance by also maintaining tax-related operations guidelines and educating employees.

Governance Structure

We define each company's roles in tax-related operations as follows.

Optimizing Tax costs

We work to appropriately and effectively use measures to lessen tax burden and more from the perspective of maximizing the NTT Group's shareholder value.

Furthermore, we do not pursue tax savings by way of interpretations or applications of laws, regulations, etc. that deviate from their intent.

Tax Risks

When undertaking international transactions, NTT and its consolidated subsidiaries should ensure such transactions are given due consideration in advance of execution. NTT and its consolidated subsidiaries should consult with tax advisors and seek advice as necessary.

Furthermore, we have laid out the following measures regarding transfer pricing taxation and controlled foreign companies rules.

Transfer Pricing Taxation

・Prices that are applied to NTT Group's international transactions will be calculated in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country or region and the Transfer Pricing Guidelines published by the OECD and also in accordance with the "arm's length principle."

・In cases where the documentation of the price calculation method is obligatory, or where such documentation is necessary due to factors such as transaction size and potential taxation risks, we will generate the documents in an appropriate manner.

Controlled Foreign Companies Rules

・NTT and its consolidated subsidiaries shall not use a low-tax country for tax avoidance. When investing in a low-tax country for business reasons, we will make appropriate tax payments in accordance with the laws and regulations of the relevant country or region.
