Facts

• Japan's new tax refund system took effect on Nov. 1, 2026. Travelers first pay the tax-inclusive price, and after customs confirms at departure that the goods are being taken out of Japan, the amount equivalent to the consumption tax is refunded.
• Customs confirms goods per transaction (for example, one receipt). If any single item in the same transaction cannot be presented, none of the tax-refund goods in that transaction can receive customs confirmation.
• The new system removes the special sealed-packaging requirement for consumables such as food, beverages and cosmetics, but travelers must still take the tax-refund goods out of Japan; if they have been consumed, they do not qualify for a refund.
• Before checking their luggage, travelers should first take the tax-refund goods to the tax refund procedure terminal and scan their passport. A green display means no further inspection is needed; a red display means they must undergo customs inspection.
• If tax-refund goods have already been placed in a suitcase and checked, the luggage cannot be retrieved in order to complete the refund procedure afterward; once the goods cannot be presented for customs confirmation, the refund may not be completed.

Is contributing 6% voluntarily to your labor pension worth it? Is the fund's 29% gain in the first 8 months an illusion? Experts reveal 3 keys: don't rush in before this age

Published 2026-11-01 12:59 ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒

Data from the Bureau of Labor Funds shows the voluntary labor pension contribution rate has hit a record high and the fund's performance is impressive. However, the Retirement Research Lab cautions investors not to be misled by a single year of high returns and to consider opportunity cost and tax brackets. Experts say the decision to contribute voluntarily depends on age and the return on alternative investments, and suggest it only becomes beneficial after a certain age.

Facts

• As of the end of August this year, the share of workers contributing voluntarily has risen to 20.8%, a record high.
• The labor pension fund's performance this year stands at 29.25%.
• The labor pension fund's return this year is about 2 times that of global stocks, but only half that of Taiwan stocks.
• The labor pension fund's performance this year trails Taiwan stocks by 30 percentage points but leads global stocks by 15 percentage points.
• The labor pension fund's five-year average performance differs from global stocks by less than 1 percentage point, but it still trails Taiwan stocks by more than 4 percentage points.
• Taking the 12% income tax bracket as an example, and assuming funds not voluntarily contributed earn 1 percentage point more each year, voluntary contributions only become truly worthwhile after about age 46.
• Taking the 5% income tax bracket as an example, one must wait until after age 55 for voluntary contributions to pay off.
