🇯🇵 Japan considers stablecoin tax refunds for foreign tourists
- Japan’s Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has proposed using stablecoins to refund taxes to foreign visitors, starting November 1, when tourists will pay consumption tax upfront.
- The new tax refund model requires customs confirmation before refunds can be issued, raising concerns about the efficiency and security of payment processing.
- Recent legislative changes in Japan could pave the way for broader cryptocurrency regulations, while the stablecoin market remains dominated by dollar-pegged tokens, with yen-backed stablecoins accounting for only a small share.
