Support for the Implementation
of the Consumption Tax Invoice System

The Consumption Tax Invoice System was launched in October 2023. To ensure proper compliance, we were entrusted with supporting the adaptation to the new system.

Under the system, even something as seemingly simple as the format of an invoice requires tax professionals to make precise judgments. We provided support to help them reach confident conclusions.

In addition, many companies face challenges in adapting their various systems to align with the tax law revisions due to system-specific constraints. We worked collaboratively to determine how to achieve compliance with minimum effort while ensuring it met the required standards, arriving at tailored solutions for each company and its operational environment.

▼Approach to problem solving

The entire organization must come together to reach concrete conclusions for system compliance.

Adapting to the system requires starting with gaining recognition from the management team about the necessity of compliance. Following this, it is essential to inform and educate the entire organization to foster a deep understanding of the system.

Once the system awareness phase is complete, each department must identify its challenges regarding compliance. Ultimately, the organization must develop solutions tailored to its operational structure and incorporate them into its workflows.

▼Support process

Deepen organizational understanding of the system, identify challenges, and develop solutions and workflows tailored to the operational framework.

We began by reviewing the organizational structure and working to ensure that all employees gained a correct understanding and awareness of the system. For this purpose, we held internal study sessions, preparing materials seperately for accounting/tax personnel and general staff.

Subsequently, we gained the management acknowledgment of the need for system compliance, established a project team, and appointed representatives from each department. Acting as the PMO, we created a project timeline, managed progress, prepared meeting agendas, facilitated discussions, recorded outcomes, and shared notes. This enabled us to clarify subsequent issues and address them systematically, resolving key points one by one.

In cases where legal compliance was difficult due to system or workflow constraints, we considered the intent of the law and focused on achieving a satisfactory level of compliance that would likely withstand a tax audit. We sought practical solutions that all stakeholders could agree upon. Bridging the gap between system requirements and internal operations was one of the most challenging tasks. Instead of adhering to a strict binary of “acceptable” or “unacceptable,” we explored options that fell within the acceptable range, ultimately ensuring successful system compliance.

Adapting to Tax Reforms Requires On-the-Ground Cooperation

While the key points for responding to tax reforms are somewhat standardized, the specific impacts on individual companies, departments, and operations, as well as the challenges that need to be addressed and their solutions, vary greatly depending on each organization’s structure and operations.

Therefore, cooperation from on-site staff is essential. Through dialogue with team members in the field, it’s crucial to jointly identify and analyze the issues and their implications.
