Hello all
I am currently working in sales for a large IT company, but I have been offered a new role as general manager for a smaller (globally 5000 staff but JP only around 100 staff) gaishikei firm.
The role would make me the representative director – 代表取締役
What are the implications of this, particularly pertaining to tax, benefits etc? I already understand that I won’t have the same protections as a regular 正社員 employee.
The company tells me I’ll be treated like a regular employee: paid through payroll, enrolled in shakai-hoken etc. If this is correct does it mean my tax position would be the same as a regular employee too in every respect? The one thing I’ve found out so far is that I can’t take advantage of company housing benefits in the same way as a regular employee from a tax relief perspective.
Are there any financial benefits at all to being the company 代表取締役?
