Solve Japan Consumption Tax Compliance Problems in Three Words: Upload JCT Registration Number, Obtain a Dedicated Badge, and Enhance Sales Competitiveness! Starting from October 1, 2023, the new policy of Japan Consumption Tax (JCT) Compliance Invoice Retention has come into effect, which brings considerable challenges to Taiwanese manufacturers and cross-border brand owners. The new policy requires that sellers who are obligated to apply for a JCT registration number must submit an application and make a compliance declaration in accordance with the law, otherwise corporate buyers will not be able to apply for input credits.
Did you know? Amazon Japan has fully launched two new frontend features that will directly affect sellers' sales performance! The first important feature is a "Specialized Badge", which sellers can earn by uploading their JCT registration number on the platform, allowing corporate buyers to instantly recognize items that can provide a compliant invoice.
More notably, Amazon has also added "invoice type" filters, a feature that has been automatically implemented without the need to apply. For example, corporate buyers can set up "restriction rules" so that when employees purchase goods that cannot be invoiced in compliance, administrators will be alerted and a review process can be set up; or even set up "filtering rules" to completely block goods that do not meet tax and fee conditions.
If you have already obtained a JCT registration number, please login to Amazon SellerPlatform to upload it immediately. Specific steps include: Log in to the platform → Go to the tax setup page → Select "Yes, I am obligated to file consumption tax returns in Japan" → Add your JCT registration number → Save the setup. This process is very simple, but it will have a significant impact on your business.
For the import mode, Taiwan cross-border exporters are usually required to utilize an Administrator of Customs Services (ACP) for importing goods. Please note that any imported shipment using FBA logistics mode cannot select Amazon and its operation centers as the ACP or Importer of Record (IOR). If you want to deduct the import excise tax in the declaration section, you must use the ACP mode to import.
