What the numbers mean
Under the new system you pay the full tax-included price at the register. After customs confirms you're taking the goods out of Japan (within 90 days), the shop — or a refund agent it uses — pays back the consumption tax, sometimes minus a handling fee.
Confirmed The 10% / 8% rates, the ¥5,000 minimum, the 90-day rule, and the ¥1,000,000 serial-number rule are set in the FY2025 tax reform outline.
Unconfirmed Handling fees, refund methods, refund timing, and per-airport kiosk details are not yet officially published. We show current-practice estimates and flag them. See the full guide →
Estimates only. This is an independent, unofficial guide, not tax or legal advice. Figures are approximate; the actual refund depends on the shop and its refund agent. Always confirm details with the store and Japan Customs. See About & disclaimer.
