How to invoice for business trip in Japan?

When traveling in Japan, if you need to make an invoice, generally follow the following steps:

1. Confirm payee information: When requesting an invoice, you need to confirm the taxpayer identification number (Japanese legal person number), company name, address and other information to the payee to ensure the legality and accuracy of the invoice.

2. Ask for an invoice: When making payment, you need to ask for an invoice from the payee. Generally speaking, shops, restaurants and hotels in Japan will provide invoices.

3. Check the contents of the invoice: After receiving the invoice, you need to carefully check whether its contents are accurate. Including the date, amount, description of goods or services, tax rate and other information of the invoice.

4. Save the invoice: In order to ensure the legality and accuracy of reimbursement, it is recommended to save the invoice properly. It is generally recommended to put invoices in waterproof and moisture-proof folders and classify them by time or category.

It should be noted that in Japan, some invoices for public transportation such as subways and buses may not be reimbursed, and it is necessary to confirm whether they meet the reimbursement conditions. In addition, if you need to make a large purchase in Japan, you can consider asking the store for a "tax report", which is a shopping voucher issued by the store and can be used for reimbursement and tax refund.

If you have more questions about Japanese invoices, you can consult the local tax authorities or accounting firms to get more accurate and detailed information.
