What is Japanese Consumption Tax?
Japan's consumption tax is a national sales tax on goods and services. It was raised to 10% in October 2019, with a reduced rate of 8% for food, beverages, and newspaper subscriptions.
What items are eligible for the 8% reduced rate?
The 8% reduced rate applies to: food and beverages for take-out or delivery, and newspaper subscriptions for more than twice-weekly publications. Alcohol and dining-in are excluded.
What is the threshold for registering for consumption tax?
Businesses with taxable sales under $10 million in the base period (the two fiscal years prior) are exempt from collecting consumption tax. From October 2023, buyers registered for consumption tax can only claim input credits from registered suppliers (Invoice System).
What is the Invoice System?
Since October 2023, businesses must issue qualified invoices showing their registration number to allow buyers to claim input tax credits. Unregistered small businesses face disadvantages as buyers cannot claim their tax credits.
