What you need to know 
The indirect tax system in Japan is consumption tax (“JCT”). Tax is due on taxable supplies of goods and services made in Japan, in the course of a business activity. This includes electronic services provided to non-business customers. Note that if certain supplies of goods or services are made by a non-established supplier, JCT will be remitted by the customer.

JCT is also due on the importation of goods into Japan.
Appointment of a tax agent is mandatory
JCT registration threshold  JPY 10,000,000

A business that performs taxable supplies during the base period (generally the year beginning two years before the tax year concerned) of more than 10 million yen, will automatically become a taxable business. Voluntary registration may be permitted prior to these criteria being met.

Cash book template: a useful tool for bookkeeping

The cash book is one of the most important accounting books for corporate bookkeeping. In the form of a simple document, often an Excel spreadsheet, the cash book is used to record a   company’s cash payments . After all, if the annual financial statements are due at the end of the fiscal year, the IRS doesn’t only want to see the transactions done via debit or credit, but also a list of all cash transactions.

A cash book template also has advantages for all self-employed individuals – regardless of whether you’re oblig...

BREXIT AND VAT

The EVD has direct and over-riding effect on all EU Member States but local legislation is required because the EVD allows for countries to pick and choose certain rules. As a result, the local VAT rules across the EU are not always consistent. Why is this important when thinking about Brexit? It’s important because once the UK leaves the EU it will theoretically (but this is not certain) no longer be bound by the EVD. This means that the UK could have free reign to amend its VAT rules as it sees fit. For example, it would no longer be prevented from applying a reduced VAT rate on supplies of women’s sanitary products which is currently precluded under the EVD. Also, the rates of VAT applied to physical and digital newspapers and books (zero-rated and standard-rated respectively) could be harmonised without having to get the agreement of all 27 other EU Member States.
