Calculation of Japanese consumption tax ("JCT") due 

Method for calculating JCT due

General:

JCT due = JCT on taxable sales (i.e., output JCT) – JCT on taxable purchases (i.e., input JCT)

Simplified method – See this post

Taxable sales

Generally, almost all sales/revenue related to business (excluding exempt transactions*), including:

-  Payment for sale of manuscripts

-  Copyright royalties

-  Speaking fees

-  Appearance fees

-  Online sales from business on the side

* Exempt transactions (see this post for details) include:

-  Proceeds from the sale of land

-  House rents

-  Medical service fees

Taxable purchases

Generally, purchase/leasing of assets or receipt of services for business from other parties (excluding exempt transactions or out-of-scope transaction, e.g., salary payments), including, but not limited to, the following:

-  Purchase of inventory assets (e.g., goods)

-  Purchase of raw materials

-  Purchase or leasing of business assets (e.g., machinery, buildings, vehicles, equipment, and fixtures)

-  Payment of advertising expenses, fringe benefits, entertainment expenses, communication expenses, utility bills

-  Purchase of office supplies, newspapers, books

-  Repair expenses

-  Outsourcing costs

Notes

-  Salary payments are out of scope for JCT purposes, but payments for services supplied by businesses (e.g., payments for processing or staffing services) are subject to JCT. Therefore, costs for outsourced processing, staffing, security guard, or cleaning services are taxable purchases for JCT purposes.

-  For cross-border services and the reverse charge mechanism, see this post.
