What is the Japan Consumption Tax Calculator?
Japan's consumption tax (消費税, shōhizei) is a value-added tax applied to most transactions. The standard rate is 10%, introduced in October 2019. A reduced 8% rate applies to food and non-alcoholic beverages purchased for home consumption (not restaurant dining or alcohol). Businesses show both 税抜 (pre-tax) and 税込 (tax-inclusive) prices.
