Calculation basis and official references

Reviewed on:

Formula basis

For an individual, withholding is 10.21% through JPY 1 million, then JPY 102,100 + 20.42% of the excess. A tax-exclusive input uses the fee as the withholding base; a corporate recipient returns zero.

Calculation method

This calculator separates consumption tax and Japan withholding tax from a manuscript or lecture fee invoice and shows the payment to an individual or corporation.

Exclusions and checks required

  • For a tax-inclusive amount without separately stated consumption tax, the implementation uses the full gross invoice as the withholding base.
  • Whether the service is legally covered, and the treatment of nonresidents and reconstruction tax, require separate review.
