Oct 31 10:37	New Talk Taiwan	Japan's new tax refund system starts tomorrow! Lin Shih-pi breaks the myths: Refund registration can be done within 180 days of returning to Taiwan ZH日本退稅新制明上路！林氏璧破解迷思：退款登記可返台180天內辦理 Newtalk新聞日本退稅新制採取「先含稅購買、離境查驗後退稅」模式，讓許多旅客誤以為必須在店內結帳時，就完成退款方式登記。對此，旅日達人林氏璧以J-TaxRefund系統為例，澄清結帳當下無須立刻上網綁定信用卡；考量近期日本網站頻傳資安與個資外洩問題，旅客可先不註冊網站，離境時若機場沒排隊就直接刷護照退現金，若人潮過多，返台後於180天內再上網登記退款即可。日本退稅新制將於明日上路，不過還是有很多網友對相關規範不瞭解。旅日達人林氏璧表示，以J-TaxRefund退稅系統及札幌藥妝公布的流程圖為例，退稅共分為以下5個步驟：第一，在店內出示護照購物，支付含稅價格；第二，到J-TaxRefund網站登記退款所需資料；第三，於購買後90天內，在離境時完成海關確認；第四，確認查驗結果，亮綠燈即可退款，亮紅燈則還要經過海關檢查；第五，數日後退稅款項將退回登記的信用卡。林氏璧解讀，首先，會看到很多網路資訊都寫要在店內就「登記退款方式」，那是因為從日本觀光廳的海報上看起來，確實會讓人以為在購買當下就要登記信用卡等退稅帳戶資料。但他認為這應該有點誤導，因為以J-TaxRefund來說，必須要有購買紀錄後，才能上網站去登記退款方式；店員在結帳時應該只是照常結帳，收據最後會附上一個QR code，讓旅客自己上網登記，這個流程並不用在店內就完成。此外，林氏璧已經和J-TaxRefund確認過，如果想要在機場退現金，完全不需要註冊J-TaxRefund網站，屆時只要在機場直接刷護照就可以了。在J-TaxRefund網站上，退稅方式可選擇信用卡、金融卡、預付卡、支付寶、微信支付或銀行轉帳。值得注意的是，網站上根本沒有「現金」的選擇，這也印證了只有選擇現金以外的退稅方式，才需要到網站登記。網頁上也有註明，即使海關已完成查驗，旅客仍可設定退稅方式，只要在購買日起180天內完成都可以。不過，註冊網頁也有另外一個好處，就是可以清楚看到消費的每一筆紀錄，確認是否已經跟著護照號碼儲存到雲端。目前札幌藥妝的建議是，請旅客於海關查驗前完成帳號註冊，並確認購買紀錄無誤；如有資料不完整或錯誤，可聯絡J-TaxRefund處理。除此之外，因為最近日本網頁廣泛出現資安和個資外洩的問題，林氏璧表示，如果旅客對此有疑慮，建議可以先都不要註冊；離境時如果遇到能退現金的地方，且沒有大排長龍，就直接退現金；但如果排隊人潮太多，就先回台灣，等回到台灣後再註冊帳號、登記退款方式都來得及，至少能避開近期資安有疑慮的這陣子。最後，林氏璧補充，上述「延後註冊」的建議，應該也適用於Global Blue和JPrefund這兩個退稅系統，但不適用於PIE VAT系統。因為一來PIE VAT與其他系統不同，在店內結帳時就會需要用到APP；再者，該系統根本沒有退現金的選擇，至於登記信用卡的這一步驟，則是在18個月內完成都來得及。延伸閱讀：(影)太空俯瞰煙花颱風！外觀如「厚實甜甜圈」大風眼超清晰最新路徑曝光東北季風Long Stay！下週兩段式降溫轉濕涼低溫探20度日本修訂安保3文書以國防與經濟良性循環為支柱日本河口湖命案涉詐保！楊閔涵供稱「試圖輕生時被阻止不慎刺中井雲蓉」百億海外圓夢成果展首度高雄登場總統、市長同場力挺青年勇闖國際 cybersecurity JP TW
