[Background and Challenges:]
The 2026 tax reform includes several items that directly impact corporate accounting. Due to revisions in the basic and salary income deductions, the taxable minimum will shift from the '1.6 million yen wall' to the '1.78 million yen wall.' Furthermore, tax incentives for wage increases are being restructured, and transition measures for input tax deductions from tax-exempt businesses will end in September 2026. Amid these changes, accounting departments are facing a critical need to translate knowledge into practice. Human Technologies' 'KING OF TIME,' which has expanded from attendance management to payroll, HR, and data analysis, released 'KING OF TIME Electronic Contract' in February 2025 to assist in building an efficient back-office platform.

2. Improving daily operations through electronic contracts compliant with the Electronic Book Preservation Act, helping to eliminate lost evidence.
