When friends come to Japan with tourist visas, can they use their passports to buy things for tax refund?

1, the specific process is as follows:

(1), show your passport.

(2) Then the clerk will take your passport and fill out the tax refund form, which needs your signature.

Finally, he will pin the tax refund form and shopping list on your passport.

(4) Remember to cancel the visa at the airport before leaving Japan. That is to say, after going through customs at the airport, give it to the airport staff and ask him to help you take down all the lists.

2. Tax amount change:

The new policy introduced by Japan Tourism Agency this time is to change the duty-free quota of 1 0000 yen for general commodities to the duty-free quota of consumables and general commodities above 5000 yen (300 RMB) from May 201day.

Under the new duty-free system, duty-free goods mainly include the following two types: (1), traditional duty-free goods such as household appliances, clothes and purses, and each duty-free shop needs more than 10000 yen per person per day; (2) Consumables such as food, beverages, local products, medicines and cosmetics. Only when each person spends between 5,000 yen and 500,000 yen in duty-free shops every day can he get a refund.

The tax refund methods and their differences are as follows:

(1), credit card and unionpay card: outbound credit card is the best choice, which is not only convenient but also quick and immediate. The tax refund process saves the trouble of carrying small change. Just fill in the card number when you refund the tax. (2) Cash: Generally, everyone will think that the most practical way to return cash is to return cash, because cash is in their own hands. However, after conversion, the amount is generally scattered, and most of the time it is saved because it is inconvenient to calculate and carry. (3) Checks: The most troublesome thing in shopping is to return the checks. Not only do I have to go back to China to get it, but it is also time-consuming and laborious, and I need to handle the collection.

Precautions for tax refund:

(1), foreign tourists with short-term visas within 90 days can get tax refund. (2) You must have the original passport when you refund the tax. Not all goods in all shopping malls can be refunded. (3) Generally, large shopping malls can only enjoy tax refund if they spend more than 5,000 yen.
