Merchant of Record keeps more at this revenue level
Merchant of Record fee assumption: 5% of gross. Tax collection and remittance are handled by the provider; the tax liability card shows what you would owe under the self-managed model. FX friction uses a fixed 2.2% planning assumption.
Runway assumes a flat monthly run-rate. Seasonal spikes, refunds and marketplace-facilitator sales can move the real registration date.

How we calculate →The rule, unpacked
What the Consumption tax threshold actually measures
A business generally becomes a taxable enterprise when taxable sales in the two prior years exceed JPY 10 million. The one-year and special-period tests can trigger earlier registration.
Measurement basis
Taxable sales in the two prior years
The two-year test is the default; the one-year and special-period tests can also apply.
Registration timing
30-day window
Confirm the effective date and any local agent requirements with National Tax Agency Japan.
Who must register
Businesses whose taxable sales exceed JPY 10 million in the two prior years, or that meet the one-year or special-period tests.
Exceptions & edge cases
The threshold test is not a simple current-year test. Qualified invoice issuer registration can matter even for businesses below the threshold.
Conditions to check
- The two-year test is the default; the one-year and special-period tests can also apply.
- The invoice system requires qualified invoice issuer registration for input-tax credits.
Rate context
The calculator uses a planning rate, not every rate
An 8% reduced rate applies to food and certain newspapers.
The estimate is useful for sizing exposure, not for preparing a return. Product-specific rates, exemptions, reverse-charge rules and place-of-supply tests can change the amount you actually owe.
Source-backed answers
Japan Consumption tax: common questions
Answers are tied to the linked official source and the conditions shown above.
01 What counts toward the Consumption tax threshold in Japan?
Taxable sales generally include domestic taxable supplies and certain exports. The two-year lookback is the default measurement window.
02 When does Consumption tax registration take effect?
File the necessary notification before the taxable period begins; the exact deadline depends on the test that triggers registration.
03 Does selling digital services change the Consumption tax threshold?
Cross-border digital services to Japanese consumers can require registration under the special B2C digital-services rules, separate from the domestic JPY 10 million test.
04 Is this Japan tax calculator official tax advice?
No. It is a planning estimate based on the published threshold and rate linked on this page. Your products, customer location, marketplace sales and business structure can change the outcome. Confirm the current rule with the official source or a local adviser before registering, pricing or filing.
