Japan cash tax refund fee as high as 10%? Lin Shih-pi reveals the real rate: Choosing the right store is more important ZH日本現金退稅手續費高達10%?林氏璧揭真實費率:挑對店家更重要
Newtalk新聞 日本退稅新制上路後,不少旅客因擔心在退稅網站綁定信用卡有資安風險,紛紛改選「機場退現金」,不過網路上卻有傳言稱「退現金手續費高達10%」,掀起旅客哀號。對此,旅日達人林氏璧表示,業者所稱的10%是以「退稅額」為分母,若換算成大家習慣的「未稅購物額」,機場退現金手續費其實僅約1%至1.1%,提醒比起機場領現手續費,「挑對低手續費的店家」更為重要。 日本退稅制度改採「先付含稅價、後退稅」後,不少旅客必須先到日本退稅網站登記退款信用卡。不過,有旅客發現,在日本退稅網站登記退款信用卡時,竟需要輸入CVV、CVC等安全碼,接著系統還會進行預授權試刷。由於這個步驟需要簡訊認證,不僅可能影響外國旅客使用,甚至讓部分民眾擔心有資安風險,因此不少人考慮放棄信用卡退稅,改選現金退款。 不過,網路上有傳言指出,現金退稅的手續費高達10%,引發討論。對此,林氏璧提醒,討論手續費比例時,一定要先確認分母是什麼。絕大多數人在討論退稅手續費時,都是以「未稅額」為分母,但部分店家的說明卻是以「退稅額」為分母,兩者換算後可能相差10倍,容易造成誤解。 以JPrefund網站上的現金退款資訊為例,日本機場的現金退款機主要由Glory (Self Tax Refund) 或Cash Japan營運,因此實際手續費取決於各機場設置的是哪一家業者的機器。 對此,林氏璧也整理目前日本現金退稅機的相關資訊: 1. Cash Japan退款機 目前設置於6個機場,配合4間退稅公司,但不包含PIE VAT;手續費為退稅業者提供的退款金額的10%,換算後約為未稅購物額的1%。 不過要注意Global Blue官網另有最低100日圓、最高500日圓的手續費規定。此外,退稅總額會以50日圓為單位取整,餘數未滿25日圓時捨去,25日圓以上則進位。 2. Glory退款機 目前設置於羽田、那霸及成田機場,其中只有成田機場同時設有兩家業者的退款機,配合6間退稅公司,但不包含Global Blue和PIE VAT。 手續費為未稅購物額的1.1%,未滿100日圓的部分捨去。 3. 友都八喜11間市區現金退款服務 友都八喜目前有11間門市提供市區現金退款服務,但僅適用於Global Blue。辦理時必須在購買當天攜帶商品前往退稅,手續費為退稅業者提供的退款金額的5%,換算後約為未稅購物額的0.5%,最低150日圓、最高500日圓。 比較特別的是,友都巴喜市區現金退款的手續費比例雖然低於機場退款,但每筆最低仍收取150日圓,反而可能比機場退款更貴。此外,辦理時還需要綁定VISA或Mastercard信用卡作為擔保,因此沒有信用卡的旅客無法使用這項服務。 綜合以上資訊,現金退稅所產生的額外手續費,換算成未稅購物額後其實僅約1%,但這筆費用仍須疊加在原本店家收取的退稅手續費之上。因此,除了比較機場退款機的手續費,購物時選擇本身手續費較低的店家也相當重要。延伸閱讀:超強聖嬰年不代表沒寒流!北極上空4天增溫15度 鄭明典揭「極渦分裂」異象今晨花蓮探17.5度!下半天東北季風再增強 日夜溫差高達10度日本退稅綁卡藏資安危機!4大系統「3家要安全碼」林氏璧1招神破解日本退稅更方便!東京銀座設2自助退款機 …

Japanese-funded telecommunications causes ecological disaster in Mongolian protected area; Ulaanbaatar turns to Tokyo, sparking public backlash ZH日資電信釀蒙古保護區生態浩劫 烏蘭巴托轉身牽手東京引爆輿論反彈
Newtalk新聞 蒙古國東方省哈拉哈高勒縣努姆魯格自然保護區日前爆發近 10 年來最嚴重的人為生態災難。這場由日資企業高管車隊引發的草原大火,延燒 8 天並重創當地 80 %的保護區生態與極瀕危物種棲地。然而,蒙古國政府在面對涉事日資企業時,初期雖展現嚴厲追責姿態,隨後卻在與日本官方的高層溝通中迅速淡化責任,甚至將災後復原轉化為深化雙邊外交關係的契機,引發蒙古社會及外界對其「第三鄰國」外交策略與利益衝突的強烈質疑。 這起火災發生於 10 月 8 日上午,由蒙古第一大行動通訊業者莫比康日籍執行長越智康博所率領的車隊引發。日本 KDDI 公司持有莫比康高達 98.8 %的股份。當時保護區氣候極度乾燥且伴隨強風,車隊在深草區行駛時,越野車底部的排氣管引燃乾草,火勢隨即失控延燒,直到 10 月 16 日才完全撲滅,造成超過 50 萬公頃草原化為焦土。努姆魯格保護區為蒙古極瀕危物種烏布蘇駝鹿及淡水關鍵指示物種河獺等珍貴生態的重要棲息地,蒙古記者與生態專家更將此浩劫定性為「生態滅絕」的破壞環境罪行。 這場大火是由莫比康日籍執行長越智康博所率領的車隊引發。 圖:翻攝自@zmx8067 圍繞車隊為何得以進入管制森嚴的保護區,日企與蒙古在地媒體各執一詞。日本 KDDI 於 10 月 23 日發表聲明,聲稱該行程是應蒙古當局要求,由 …

Taiwanese eel and pork rib rice hit 45 supermarkets in Japan's Kansai region! Limited to 8,000 servings ZH台灣鰻魚、排骨飯攻日本關西45家超市!限量8,000份
Newtalk新聞 台灣農產拚外銷再出招!農業部攜手日本關西連鎖通路「松源超市」,自5日起推出限量8000份的「台灣祭」特色便當。本次主打正宗台式排骨與蒲燒鰻魚,搭配台南16號白米,直接搶攻日本消費者的味蕾。農業部更宣示,台灣已成功拔除三大豬病,將以此為跳板,全力爭取台灣生鮮豬肉重返日本市場。 為了讓台灣優質農產品實質落地日本終端消費市場,農業部指導台灣優良農產品發展協會(CAS)與日本松源超市跨海合作,於11月5日至15日期間,在關西地區的45家門市盛大舉辦「台灣祭便當限定販售推廣活動」。此次活動重磅推出兩款台味餐盒,包含6000份的排骨飯便當,以及2000份的鰻魚飯便當,主打以實惠價格讓當地民眾體驗正宗的台灣家鄉味。 農業部政務次長胡忠一5日親赴大阪,出席松源超市吹田青葉丘門市的開幕推廣儀式,現場包含大阪府吹田市議會副議長有澤由真、駐大阪辦事處處長范振國,以及台灣優良農產品發展協會董事長張裕屏等人皆到場站台。胡忠一致詞時表示,超市是連結產地與消費者最直接、也最重要的通路;透過日本民眾日常最熟悉的「便當」形式來結合台灣在地食材,能讓台灣農產品更自然地融入當地生活,為後續擴大市占率奠定深厚基礎。 針對本次便當的選材亮點,胡忠一說明,鰻魚在日本消費市場原本就深具潛力與喜好度,而台灣養殖的鰻魚不僅品質優良,更具備強大的市場競爭力,業者在養殖與加工技術上皆有嚴格的食安把關。這次推出的鰻魚飯便當,特別選用肉質細緻、風味濃郁的台灣蒲燒鰻,並搭配口感絕佳的台南16號白米,期盼讓更多關西地區的消費者認識並指名選購台灣水產。 除了頂級海味,本次推廣活動的另一大戰略焦點,則是選用台灣豬肉製作的「台式排骨飯便當」。這不僅是將台灣最具代表性的國民飲食文化帶入日本零售市場,背後更肩負著重振產業的企圖心。農業部強調,台灣目前已經正式恢復口蹄疫、傳統豬瘟及非洲豬瘟等「三大豬病」的非疫區地位。官方將持續嚴格落實防疫與生產管理,並透過這類海外在地推廣活動,積極爭取讓台灣生鮮豬肉早日重返日本市場,為國內養豬產業拚出更廣闊的外銷藍圖。 農業部總結指出,這次「台灣祭」成功結合了台灣優質食材與松源超市在關西深耕的通路優勢。未來將繼續推動與日本各大零售通路的實質合作,除了進一步擴張台灣農產品的海外布局,也能深化台日雙方的農產貿易與飲食文化交流。延伸閱讀:許允樂嫁李玉璽1年宣布懷孕!曬超音波照嗨喊:孩子心跳好大聲兒少遭網路誘拐比例達58%!展翅協會揭性勒索危機 籲家長以陪伴取代責備日本退稅新制繁瑣!想退現金該怎麼做?林氏璧籲先釐清2件事強化國產茶產地把關!茶改場產地鑑別技術再升級鰻苗價暴跌創30年新低!每尾剩5元 農業部12月推溯源制度、研議開放出口

Japan's new tax refund system is complicated! How to get a cash refund? Lin Shih-pi urges clarifying 2 things first ZH日本退稅新制繁瑣!想退現金該怎麼做?林氏璧籲先釐清2件事
日本退稅新制11月1日起上路。 圖:取自日本自助旅遊中毒者 Newtalk新聞 日本退稅新制11月1日起上路,然而,由於退稅平台眾多且流程較過往繁瑣,加上近期日本個資外洩案件頻傳,有部分平台需輸入信用卡資訊甚至信用卡安全碼,許多民眾卻步,想改用退現金的方式。對此,旅日達人林氏璧建議民眾,若想退現金得先釐清2件事。 林氏璧在日本自助旅遊中毒者粉專提到,若想退現金,可先搞清楚你去的機場退現金機是Cash JAPAN還是Self Tax Refund。 前者有6個機場,後者有3個機場。 接著再搞清楚你買的店家是採用什麼退稅系統。他舉例,4大公司來說, 前者支援Global Blue,J-TaxRefund和JPrefund。 後者則支援J-TaxRefund和JPrefund。 所以在羽田還有那霸,Global Blue 目前無法退現金。此外,PIE VAT則沒有領現的選擇。 林氏璧表示,成田機場一二航廈是目前唯2兩個系統都有的。其他機場的退稅機都在管制區內, 成田機場因此Self Tax Refund被放在安檢前的入境大廳那層,Cash JAPAN則在管制區內。 此外,以手續費來說,其實Cash JAPAN較低,所以J-TaxRefund或是JPrefund也不妨到管制區後再退!Self Tax Refund,不管怎樣都是收未稅額的1.1%,且100以下尾數會捨去。 林氏璧也提到,Cash JAPAN的部分和店家手續費有關,他細算,店家手續費0,退稅額10%,Cash JAPAN收未稅額的1%;店家手續費1%,退稅額9%,Cash JAPAN收未稅額的0.9%;店家手續費2%,退稅額8%,Cash JAPAN收未稅額的0.8%。而且是以50日圓原單位進行進位或是捨去,不是無條件捨去。 另外兩家退稅平台Global …
