Will shops I used for Tax-Free shopping before still support the new system?
Operating Tax-Free shops must comply with the current system, but the refund method and provider may differ by store.
This page is general reference information based on Japan's refund-based Tax-Free system starting November 1, 2026. Procedures and rules may differ by store, refund provider, airport or port, and may change. Please check the latest information with the Japanese government or the store where you shop.
