日本：访日游客免税购物11月1日起改退款方式 先付消费税离境确认后退还
日本国税厅的新规已于11月1日全面生效：外国游客在免税店购物时须先按含消费税的价格付款，离境时经海关确认所购商品确实带出日本、店铺收到确认后，再退还相当于消费税的金额。新旧制度之间没有过渡期，11月1日起的交易一律适用新规。
按新规，合资格购买须在购买日起90天内完成海关确认并带出日本；一般而言，同一店铺同一天购买未税价格满5000日元的商品可纳入退款范围。新规的主要目的，是防止免税制度被滥用、确保合资格商品真正由合资格游客带离境。
成田、羽田、关西、中部、福冈、新千岁与那霸等主要机场设有办理区域，游客也可通过 Visit Japan Web 办理初步手续。据官方数据，今年7月至9月访日游客消费总额为2.2076万亿日元，同比增长3.2%。
Japan: Tax-Free Shopping for Visitors Switches to Refund Method From November 1
New rules from Japan's National Tax Agency took full effect on November 1: foreign visitors shopping at tax-free stores must now pay the tax-inclusive price at checkout, and receive a refund equivalent to the consumption tax only after customs confirms at departure that the purchases are being taken out of Japan and the store receives that confirmation. There is no transition period; all transactions from November 1 fall under the new refund method.
Eligible purchases must be taken out of Japan with customs confirmation completed within 90 days of purchase, and purchases of 5,000 yen or more before tax per store per day generally qualify. The reform aims to prevent abuse of the tax-free system and ensure qualifying purchases are actually exported by eligible visitors.
Major airports including Narita, Haneda, Kansai, Chubu Centrair, Fukuoka, New Chitose and Naha have designated departure areas for the procedure, and visitors can also use Visit Japan Web for the initial steps. Official data show foreign visitors spent 2.2076 trillion yen in Japan from July to September 2026, up 3.2 percent from a year earlier.
