Consumption tax invoice system
The consumption tax invoice system (qualified invoice storage method) will be enforced in Japan from October 1, 2023.
Under this system, the seller is obligated to issue qualified invoices, etc. that meet certain requirements,
and the buyer’s tax credit is based on the preservation of the qualified invoices, etc.
In order to issue qualified invoices, etc.,

In addition, there are a wide range of other issues to be considered in the introduction of the system.
