Japan Plans to Resume Taxing Small Online Purchases!
The Japanese government is re-examining the current system of exempting imported goods from consumption tax, and plans to adjust it so that online shopping operators will be responsible for paying taxes, hoping to include this part in the tax reform outline for next year.
In Japan, the number of small imports valued at less than 10,000 yen increased sharply last year, reaching about 170 million items, with a total value of over 400 billion yen. In particular, transactions through operators run by Chinese companies accounted for the majority. The current policy stipulates that when goods are directly delivered to consumers within the country from overseas, they are exempt from consumption tax and other taxes.
