Country Financial Analysis

There are two corporate income tax rates in Japan. The 34.59% tax rate is applied to medium-sized entities and the 30.62% rate is applied to larger entities.

The increase in revenues and profit in 2020 arose mainly because the sales figures of Shell Lubricants Japan Kabushiki Kaisha, acquired in December 2020, were included.

[A] New Energies was rebranded to Renewables and Energy Solutions in 2021.
