In order to reduce ambiguity and provide customers in Japan with more accurate information on invoices and payment statements, the notation of tax classification for items that are not subject to Japanese consumption tax calculation will be revised as follows:

• Before change: "非課税" (Tax-exempt) or "対象外" (Not applicable)
• After change: "不課税" (Non-taxable)

Please note that this change only pertains to the notation and does not affect the actual tax classification or calculation itself.

For additional details on Japanese consumption tax classification, please refer to the following FAQ page: Is consumption tax charged on global coverage charges? (Japanese).

Effective date

This update will take effect on December 1, 2023.
