With the globalization of the economy, international aspects of consumption taxation have attracted more attention in recent years. International comparison with other systems became particularly important for the Japanese Consumption Tax system because it is a unique system and raising tax rate in coming years might uncover defects of the current system, which have not been recognized explicitly owing to the low level of the tax rate.In this research project, some aspects of VAT/GST systems in the EU, New Zealand, and Korea were compared with the Japanese Consumption Tax system, and it was made clear that the current Japanese system without invoice needs reassessment. Adapting the system to IT environment is another challenge. In addition, materials explaining thedetails of the Japanese system in English were produced.
