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.
