What are the reporting requirements for businesses in different countries?

Reporting requirements can vary significantly by country. Are you interested in specific countries or regions?

I'm particularly interested in the USA, Germany, and Japan.

In the USA, businesses must comply with GAAP and file annual reports with the SEC if publicly traded. Germany requires adherence to HGB and IFRS for larger companies. Japan follows J-GAAP or IFRS depending on the company size and type.

What about tax reporting requirements?

Tax reporting also varies. In the USA, businesses must file federal and state tax returns. Germany has a corporate tax rate and requires annual tax returns. Japan has a similar system with corporate tax obligations.

Can you provide more details on deadlines for these reports?

Sure! In the USA, the deadline for annual reports is typically 60-90 days after the fiscal year-end. Germany's deadline is usually 12 months after the fiscal year, while Japan requires tax returns to be filed within 2 months after the fiscal year-end.
