• Will going to Japan to "pick up loopholes" in Japan's tax exemption system cause a nationwide craze in Taiwan?

  The duty-free system in Japan is quite attractive for foreign tourists because they can purchase duty-free goods in Japan, which means they can save some taxes. However, this system is not completely unrestricted, and local authorities have been revising it. The loophole in the tax exemption system usually refers to passengers engaging in illegal means when purchasing duty-free goods, such as repeated purchases or exceeding the limit. These behaviors are considered an abuse of the system and may be subject to legal constraints. As for whether there will be a nationwide craze in Taiwan, it depends on various factors, including publicity, interest attraction, and legal enforcement. If the loopholes related to Japan's tax exemption system are widely publicized and can attract Taiwanese people to Japan for this purpose, some people may participate. However, due to legal limitations and moral considerations, such behavior may not be encouraged and may be subject to legal punishment. It is important to realize that abusing a system is not a sustainable and effective strategy, as local authorities often detect loopholes and make revisions to prevent abuse. In addition, such behavior may also damage the relationship between the two countries and the reputation of the tourism industry. If you plan to travel to Japan, I suggest that you comply with local laws and regulations, and consume in an ethical and legal manner.

• Compared to other countries' tax exemption systems, what are the shortcomings of Japan's tax exemption system?

  Although Japan's tax exemption system has attracted many tourists, there are also some shortcomings. The following are some aspects that may be considered drawbacks: 1.The scope of goods is limited: The tax exemption system usually only applies to specific categories of goods, such as high-end brand products, electronic products, cosmetics, etc. Other categories of goods may not be within the tax-free range, so passengers may not be able to enjoy tax-free benefits. 2.Limit: Japan's tax exemption system usually has a certain purchase limit, beyond which additional purchase amounts are no longer eligible for tax exemptions. This may limit the duty-free benefits that some high-value goods or bulk buyers can enjoy. 3.The tax refund procedures are complex: In order to obtain a tax refund, passengers need to go through a series of procedures, including filling out relevant documents during shopping and handling tax refunds at the airport. These procedures may cause certain difficulties and inconveniences for passengers who are unfamiliar with the process or have difficulty speaking the language. 4.Exchange rate risk: The refund amount is usually given in local currency, which means that passengers need to bear the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. If the exchange rate changes compared to when shopping during tax refund, it may lead to a decrease in the actual value of the tax refund amount. 5.Regional restrictions: Tax exemption policies may vary in different regions. In Japan, for example, the tax exemption policies in major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka may differ from those in other regions. This may impose certain restrictions on travelers' shopping plans and choices. It should be noted that the shortcomings of the tax exemption system are related to the personal needs and expectations of passengers. For some passengers, these restrictions may not be an important issue, while for others, these restrictions may affect their shopping experience.
