Newtalk新聞 日本4大退稅公司之一的Global Blue，繼先前宣布旅客在旗下合作店家消費後，可前往市區連鎖電器行「友都八喜」辦理現金退稅服務後，近日又宣布在東京「LAOX銀座本店」設置兩台市區退款KIOSK自助機，打造銀座退款服務據點。未來除了在LAOX購物的旅客外，凡是在銀座周邊Global Blue合作店家消費的旅客，也能前往該據點以現金領取退稅款。 隨著日本免稅新制於11月1日正式上路，Global Blue持續擴大市區退稅服務網絡。除了與電器量販店「友都八喜」合作，在全日本11個據點提供市區退稅服務外，現在也進一步於東京銀座的「LAOX銀座本店」內增設服務據點，並設置兩台支援日本新免稅制度的市區退款KIOSK自助機，讓旅客能在市區辦理退款手續。 Global Blue指出，日本自2026年11月起調整免稅制度，從原本購物時直接免除消費稅的方式，改為「退款制」。新制上路後，訪日旅客購物時須先支付含消費稅的商品全額，出境時再經由機場等地的海關確認後，退還相應稅額。不過，透過市區退款KIOSK辦理退稅，旅客可選擇領取現金 (設有金額上限)，或將退款退至信用卡；但若選擇在市區辦理退稅，仍須登錄信用卡作為擔保。 另外，Global Blue也提供多項配套服務，包括可即時查詢免稅手續資訊及退款進度的「行動客服服務」(Mobile Customer Care)，以及能搜尋免稅適用店家、市區退款櫃檯和海關位置的「Global Blue App」。此外，官方也提供支援14種語言、全年365天、每天24小時的全天候客服服務，從購物到消費稅退款，為訪日旅客提供完整的一站式服務。延伸閱讀：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(影)日本退稅新制霧煞煞？前主播實測申辦3步驟 最快幾小時完成退款台日年底簽貿易協議？ 卓榮泰不證實、也不否認傳台日年底簽署全面貿易協議 林佳龍樂觀其成、經貿辦沒有回應又來…第19次？北韓朝日本海發射多枚「飛彈」 傳射程不及300公里

Newtalk新聞 日本退稅制度改採「先付含稅價、後退稅」後，出現了許多亂象。旅日達人林氏璧指出，日本四大退稅系統中，竟有3家要求旅客在綁定退款信用卡時輸入「安全碼」並進行預授權試刷，不僅容易因收不到跨國簡訊驗證而卡關，更潛藏個資外洩與盜刷風險，因此提出「消費與退款脫鉤」破解奇招，可兼顧退稅權益與用卡安全。 日本退稅新制上路後，不少旅客需要先到日本退稅網站登記退款信用卡。不過就有旅客發現，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；因為這一步驟需要簡訊認證，導致很多人卡在這裡，就如同在迪士尼APP消費時很多人會卡住一樣。 對此，林氏璧在臉書粉專「日本自助旅遊中毒者」指出，日本四大退稅系統中，僅有Global Blue不需要安全碼，只要輸入卡號和到期日即可；其他三間包括J-TaxRefund、PIE VAT、JPrefund則全部都需要。他直言「這是非常違反直覺且不合理的設計」，從金融實務來看，如果單純只是要把錢退回信用卡，應該只需要16碼卡號與有效期限，根本不需要安全碼。 林氏璧推測，這可能是廠商便宜行事的結果，他們沒有另外開發系統，而是直接使用電商結帳的綁卡驗證模組，並非專門為了退稅去開發獨立的單向匯款系統。除了造成不便外，近期日本資安事件頻傳，如果這樣完整交出信用卡資料，一旦面臨個資外洩事件，後果將不堪設想；另外也有人擔心，J-TaxRefund的同意條款中，可能會讓資訊傳到中國去。 面臨以上狀況，林氏璧建議三個應對方式：第一，考慮直接放棄退稅，當個快樂的納稅人；第二，還是辦理退稅，但不登錄網站也不登錄信用卡，直接到機場看是否能成功退現金，不過這部分會另收約1%手續費；第三，由於付款方式和退款方式完全是脫鉤的，在店內付款時可以用平時習慣使用的信用卡，但同時另外準備一張額度低、平時沒在用的信用卡，專門作為退款使用。 林氏璧強調，只要去一次日本，四大退稅公司大概就都建立好帳號了，且只要建這一次，之後就可以繼續使用(僅J-TaxRefund一定要有交易後才可以)。此外，在綁定完後，還可以直接於銀行APP關閉這張卡的海外與線上交易功能，應該是不會影響到收款的。至於退回來的稅金，由於是退回信用卡帳戶，只能用來折抵下期帳單。延伸閱讀：(影)煙花尾巴孵新颱風！準「查帕卡」成颱機率逾5成 最快11/8生成不只低溫探19度！明晚東北季風增強「海面飆10級陣風」 5大特點一次看髮型師日本獨旅失聯「找到了」！桃市警：家屬證實人身平安台日年底簽貿易協議？ 卓榮泰不證實、也不否認傳台日年底簽署全面貿易協議 林佳龍樂觀其成、經貿辦沒有回應

Newtalk新聞 韓國聯合參謀本部馬天（4日）表示，軍方偵測到北韓當天上午在咸鏡南道宣德一帶，向韓半島東部海域（日本海）發射多枚飛彈。此次行動發生在美國中期選舉當日（當地時間3日），也是北韓近期密集試射的最新一波，若確認為彈道飛彈，將是一週內第三次；若計入巡弋航飛彈，則為一週內第四次武力挑釁。 聯參指出，韓美從北韓發射準備階段起即嚴密監視，發射後立即展開追蹤。雙方正基於堅固的聯合防衛態勢，密切關注朝方各種動向，並維持能夠壓倒性應對任何挑釁的戒備狀態。 軍方此次通報使用「飛彈」而非「彈道飛彈」的表述，研判所射飛行器飛行距離不及300公里，不排除近程彈道飛彈（CRBM）的可能性，正對具體參數進行分析。韓國媒體報導指出，有關方面已將此次行動研判為今年以來的第19次彈道飛彈相關發射。 此次發射正值勞動黨中央委員會總務部長金與正發表談話提及「對話選項」之際。金與正稱，維護和平的選項中無疑包括對話，但對北韓而言，這未必能與國家利益相提並論。相關談話被解讀為，平壤為與美方對話留下餘地，但不會只執著於對話一條路。 背景方面，北韓上月29日同時發射10多枚600毫米口徑超大型火箭砲（KN-25）；同月31日進行戰術彈道飛彈散布戰鬥部（集束彈頭）戰鬥適用性及威力評估試驗，宣稱標準二型可將11.9至12.9公頃目標區域夷為平地。本月2日又進行戰略巡航飛彈散布戰鬥部威力評估試驗及垂直打擊飛行特性試驗，聲稱中型集束彈頭可將5至6公頃地區化為焦土。專家分析，北韓今年頻繁試射顯示可能接近量產準備階段，不排除未來出口至俄羅斯的可能性。延伸閱讀：堅決反對與中國聯合開發南海油氣 菲防長鐵歐多洛：100%支持終止冰櫃變烤箱？！歐洲7-11國超市遭駭客入侵 遠端控溫毀壞生鮮食品擾亂民生楊宏基觀點》南韓防長姜信哲靈魂發問：能信美軍？ 對台灣的啟示是…金將軍不做壞事？ 幣安遭竊兩千億加密資產 北韓遭指黑手 金與正怒駁斥日本秋冬之旅推薦！4大「東京後花園」 漫步紅葉中

Newtalk新聞 日本人氣創作歌手米津玄師2018年為日劇《法醫女王》創作的經典主題曲〈Lemon〉，MV在YouTube頻道於昨(3)日晚間11點正式突破10億次觀看，成為史上首支達成此紀錄的日文歌曲MV，為米津玄師的演藝生涯再創新里程碑。 現年35歲的米津玄師曾以「Hachi」名義於網路發表VOCALOID音樂作品一夕爆紅，2012年以本名正式出道，許多經典歌曲如〈Lemon〉、〈春雷〉、〈Loser〉、〈地球儀〉等皆有破億次點閱，並連續兩年位列日本Billboard JapanHot 100排行榜榜首，在世界各地都擁有極高人氣。其中〈Lemon〉是米津玄師特別為日劇《法醫女王》量身創作，以失去重要之人的悲傷與思念為主題，MV於2018年2月27日公開。如今MV發布經過3171天，在今年11月3日突破10億觀看，更成為首支達標的日文歌曲MV。 對此，米津玄師坦言，「說真的，直到現在，我還是不太能理解〈Lemon〉為什麼會成為如此廣為流傳、影響力這麼大的歌曲」，當初歌曲剛推出時，人氣以超乎想像的速度擴散，連他自己都被嚇了一跳。他形容就像原本只是想和大家一起生營火，隨手點燃幾塊木材，沒想到火勢迅速蔓延，最後竟變成一場森林大火，而自己只能一手拿著點火器、另一手提著一桶水，茫然看著眼前的一切。米津玄師也表示，自己對〈Lemon〉充滿感謝，「這首歌帶領原本像鄉下流浪狗般的我，看見許多從未想像過的風景，也讓人生走向更加精彩、不可思議的方向」。 【更多的米津玄師－追蹤米津玄師的IG吧！】延伸閱讀：「一口氣賣3房」疑陷財務危機？吳宗憲親自回應了蔣萬安遭台商婦人下跪陳情！林智群酸「找對人了」：他爸爸一定可以幫你「上古許光漢」林煒翻紅！登Threads首發聲「13小時吸5萬人朝聖」新北深坑首座社宅243戶動土！住都中心：散步就到老街 賴瑞隆11/7「北高隆洋」岡山造勢 搖滾區抽籤開跑
