Chester Tax Accountant Corporation Opens Tsukuba Office

Chester Tax Accountant Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Partners: Masaaki Fukudome, Yoshihiro Aramaki; hereinafter 'Chester'), specializing in inheritance tax, announced the opening of its 'Tsukuba Office' in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, in April 2026. This expands Chester's network to 19 offices nationwide.

Background of National Expansion

In addition to being an aging society, the revision of the tax system in fiscal year 2015, which lowered the 'basic exemption amount,' has increased the number of individuals required to file inheritance tax returns. Furthermore, in fiscal year 2023, tax reforms related to 'lifetime gifts' and 'vacant homes' were announced, making inheritance planning and inheritance tax filing more complex, and we feel that the demand for tax accountants with specialized knowledge in inheritance tax is increasing. Chester, which started from its Tokyo head office, now has over 400 employees, including group companies, and is a growing firm currently expanding to 19 offices nationwide. Moving forward, as our employees grow, we will continue to expand into areas where there is demand, aiming to become the overwhelming No. 1 tax accountant firm specializing in inheritance tax, to be of service to as many people as possible regarding their inheritance.
