Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 8% reduced rate apply?
The 8% rate applies to food and non-alcoholic beverages bought at a grocery store or for takeout. If you eat in at a restaurant or convenience store seating area, the standard 10% rate applies.
What is Zeinuki and Zeikomi?
Zeinuki (税抜) means the price excluding tax. Zeikomi (税込) means the total price including tax. Since April 2021, all businesses in Japan are required by law to display the Zeikomi total to consumers.
Are there fractions of a Yen?
Technically yes when calculating, but in practice, Japanese retailers floor (truncate) or round down the tax amount so that consumers pay a whole number of Yen.
