Frequently asked questions
- What are the rates?
- 10.21% of the fee up to ¥1,000,000 and 20.42% of the part above, rounded down to the yen. The extra 0.21% is the reconstruction special income tax, levied until 2037.
- Is consumption tax included in the base?
- Not when the invoice shows it separately: tax is then withheld on the fee alone. If the invoice gives one amount with tax included, withholding applies to all of it.
- Is anything sent anywhere?
- No. It is worked out in your browser.
