The company I work for is now requiring me to get a Registered Supplier ID number (VAT number) in order to continue to offer freelance work to them. Unfortunately, the application process seems very complicated and is entirely in Japanese.
Does anyone have any experience with this? This is the only online resource I could find, but it seems far too daunting and unclear for me to attempt on my own.
How to get your Registered Supplier ID Number (aka VAT Number) in Japan
Also, can anyone recommend affordable bi-lingual tax professionals that could assist with the process in Tokyo?
Cheers, Kevin

> taxable sales of ¥10 million or less in the base period are exempt from paying the Japanese Consumption Tax and therefore do not fall under the Qualified Invoice System and cannot issue qualified invoices.
if you’re making more than that, hire someone to do this for you 🙂
