Tax Amount = Taxable Base × Applicable Tax Rate

🏘️ Tax Rate Components

Standard Rate (10%):
Applicable to most goods, services, electronics, alcohol, and dining out.

Reduced Rate (8%):
Applies strictly to food/beverages (excluding alcohol/dining out) and certain newspapers.

💡 Common Exemptions

  • Land Sales & Rent: Transfer of land and residential rent.
  • Medical Services: Treatment covered by public health insurance.
  • Education: Tuition and textbooks at qualified schools.
  • Exports: Goods and services exported from Japan (0% rated).

📅 Payment Information

Businesses typically file and pay consumption tax annually (or more frequently for larger entities) based on the difference between tax received from sales and tax paid on purchases.
