消費税 consumption tax software for Japanese sales

Standard and reduced consumption tax rates, plus exempt items, calculated correctly on every invoice line — configured out of the box, not left for you to set up by hand.

Standard and reduced rates, per line

Every product carries its own tax category, so an invoice mixing standard-rated (10%) and reduced-rate (8%) items — food and non-alcoholic drink under the reduced rate, for instance — calculates each line correctly rather than applying one rate to the whole document.

Exempt items handled correctly

Tax-exempt goods and services are recognized as their own category, not just a zero-percent rate, so they report distinctly on tax summaries.

Configured out of the box

The Japan tax profile ships pre-configured against current rates, so there is nothing to set up before your first invoice.

Honest about scope: Japan support today is the consumption tax engine on sales and purchase documents. Payroll withholding for Japan (源泉徴収, 社会保険) is on our roadmap but not live yet — tell us if it matters for your timeline →

It is the rest of your business too

Consumption tax is one part of a full operational platform — quotations through to invoices, purchase orders through to vendor bills, inventory across warehouses, CRM, point of sale, and an AI assistant, all in the same system. See everything included →

Japan consumption tax, answered

Does InvoToday calculate the reduced 8% rate as well as the standard 10% rate?

Yes. Each product carries its own tax category, so a single invoice with a mix of standard-rated, reduced-rate and exempt items calculates every line correctly rather than applying one rate to the whole document.

Is payroll (shakai hoken, income tax withholding) supported for Japan yet?

Not yet — Japan support today covers the consumption tax engine on sales and purchase documents. Payroll withholding for Japan is on our roadmap but not live; tell us if it matters for your timeline.

Is this tax advice?

No — InvoToday is invoicing software that automates calculation from the rates configured for Japan. Confirm what applies to your business with the National Tax Agency or your own tax accountant.
