Description by MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF JAPAN(from the App Store)
--- This app is available for users who have a tax-exempt card issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. By presenting the 2D code generated by this application at the stores that have implicated a ‘tax exemption purchasing web system’, it is no longer necessary to provide your tax exemption card and fill out a purchase form, ‘Certificate of Tax Exemption Purchase for Foreign Establishments’. However, the stores that do not have the web system in place will still need to complete the form. Please be advised that, even when making tax-exempt purchases using this app, it remains necessary to present your ID card as per standard procedure. This app requires activation using your information, including your tax exemption card number. Upon activation, you will have access to the function for generating a 2D code to be presented at Designated Stores, as well as the function for searching any Designated Stores. *To prevent fraudulent use, the app gathers the unique device identifier (UDID) of the device (smartphone).
1. 2D Code Issuing Function (2D Code Issue) This function generates the 2D code to be presented at Designated Stores.
2. Store Search Function (DS Search) You can search for Designated Stores by entering a portion of the store's name, selecting an industry category, or choosing a prefecture. Please note that the nearby store search function uses the device's location information.
*The location information is used only within the device for store searches and is not collected by this app.
*Search results for Designated Stores may not exclusively reflect those that have implemented the ‘tax exemption purchasing web system’. Additionally, store location information may not always reflect the most recent updates.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
the same time period. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal.
