Filing calendars, registration thresholds and the official tax authority.
In Japan, national taxes are administered by the National Tax Agency (NTA) through local tax offices; local taxes are handled by prefectures and municipalities. Businesses file notifications when starting, register for consumption tax where applicable (including the qualified-invoice system), and file and pay by the statutory deadlines, increasingly via the e-Tax system.
