ERROR
Identifier format invalid (Corporate number (Japan))The Corporate number in Japan consists of exactly 13 numerical digits. The first digit is the check digit and cannot be 0.ERROR
Identifier format invalid (VAT number (Japan))Japan does not have a specific "Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) Number" or a distinct format dedicated to the consumption tax. The consumption tax in Japan is generally associated with the business registration number or tax identification number, which is called the "Company Registration Number" or "Business Registration Number" (登記番号, Tōki-bangō) in Japan. The Company Registration Number, also known as the "Tokibango" or "Houjin-bango," is assigned to businesses upon registration with the local government. It is a unique identification number used for various administrative and tax purposes, including the reporting and payment of consumption tax.

The format of the Company Registration Number in Japan typically follows this pattern: For sole proprietorships (個人事業主, kojin jigyoushu): "TXXXXXXXXXXXXX". For corporations (株式会社, kabushiki kaisha): "TXXXXXXXXXXXXX". Please note that the Xs in the format represent numeric digits.

It's important to consult with the local tax authorities or a tax professional in Japan to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the specific requirements and format of the Company Registration Number for consumption tax purposes.
