Important Notes
Service Fee vs. Actual Costs
Plan fees (Plan A / B / C) are service fees for Japan YES property management services. Actual costs such as property taxes, management fees, utilities, and other third-party charges are billed separately. Invoices clearly distinguish between service fees and actual cost reimbursements.
Paying Actual Vendor Costs
To keep your total cost low, large actual vendor costs (e.g. renovations, repairs) are not charged to your credit card — card processing would add roughly 4% to the full amount. You pay these costs by international transfer (Wise recommended, or your bank), with the transfer fee on your side. Our service fee and small fixed fees can still be paid by card. For larger jobs, the vendor cost is collected in advance before we pay the contractor.
Tax Services Disclaimer
Japan YES is not a licensed tax accountant (税理士) firm. We do not provide the following services: tax return preparation, tax consultation or advice, or tax amount calculations. For these services, we can introduce you to a qualified, licensed tax accountant (税理士). Our tax representative (納税管理人) service is limited to receiving tax notices.
Annual Fee Review
Our fees are reviewed annually and may be revised to reflect changes in costs and market conditions. The fee schedule in effect on the date we accept your request applies to that request. Plan fees and fixed Spot Service fees are tax-included (内税); the percentage-based service fee is charged plus consumption tax.
