Researching tax systems in a fulfilling environment, with the goal of putting my knowledge to work as a tax consultant

I wanted to acquire a deep understanding of economics with the goal of becoming a tax consultant, and that’s why I chose to enter a graduate school that produces a large number of accountants and tax consultants. I’m currently researching Japan’s tax haven countermeasures while taking advantage of the excellent academic environment offered by KGU, which includes a large library with an underground archive that holds a wealth of literature eminently useful in writing papers, as well as personal study rooms that come furnished with desks, bookshelves, and lockers. In today’s world of increasing globalization, international taxation faces a number of issues, with tax avoidance techniques employed by big companies like Apple and Google garnering a lot of attention. This trend looks to continue in the future, and I’m interested in focusing on how Japan’s tax system functions against tax havens and what will transpire in the future. Another goal of mine is to become a certified tax consultant. Once I’ve passed the certification test and become a tax consultant, my goal is to put my knowledge in managerial accounting and economics to use to provide wide-ranging support for business owners.
