This sounds just like the VAT rules in the UK. What I don’t understand is why a company buying the services of a freelancer who isn’t consumption tax registered would be an issue in Japan.
In the UK it’s very common to buy services from non-VAT registered businesses. You don’t claim the VAT back because no VAT was added to the invoice.
- konschubert 3y agoIt seems that in Japan, customers of small businesses could claim the VAT back even though the small business did not pay VAT. It was a subsidy that is being removed.
