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 …
