Summary of SPC

In Japan, two main schemes, TMK and TK, are widely utilized for collective investment schemes for a small number of investors in recent years.
Especially, for non-resident investors with no permanent establishments, there are cases where they could enjoy a tax break to applicate tax treaties.

If you are interested in these schemes and would like to know more detailed information of SPC, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
