Introduction

Japan's economy is at a major turning point. Confronted on the one hand with a serious recession and bleak outlook， the economy is at the same time globalizing at a rapid pace as the Big Bang and other market oriented measures introduce greater international competition. Structural reforms to reinvigorate the economy are a top priority， and corporate tax reform is being addressed as the key to unlock the source of vitality， the corporate sector.

In this paper， we look at the present status of the corporate tax， which has been criticized as an impediment to corporate activity， examine international trends in corporate tax reform among leading economies that have successfully been reinvigorated， and suggest perspectives for corporate tax reform in Japan.
