🔥 What will change from Nov 1, 2026:
- Current instant tax-free discount ends Oct 31, 2026
- From Nov 1, tourists pay tax-inclusive prices in stores
- Refund after customs verifies goods at departure airport within 90 days
- New middleman operators (like Cash Japan) will process refunds — may charge commission 1d35
👀 Why stablecoins?
- Refunds may be sent as JPY-backed stablecoin to digital wallet
- Could expand stablecoin use beyond trading to tourism & retail
- Still under consideration, not confirmed nationwide
⚠️ Note: This is a proposal under research by Japan Financial Services Agency / Tourism Agency. Refund timing & method (cash, cashless, or stablecoin) may vary by retailer.
