The fields, the party identifiers, the exact statutory wording for each tax treatment and the JPY rule — each cited to the statute or the tax authority, not a summary of one.
The content Japan's rules put on the face of the document, beyond the parties, line items and totals every invoice carries.
The registration numbers and their formats the Japan rules expect on the invoice.
When no tax is charged, the invoice has to say why — in the words the law names. Each is linked to the statute or tax authority it was read from.
消費税は含まれていません — 輸入貨物に係る消費税は輸入者が税関に納付します(消費税法第5条第2項)Consumption tax not charged — tax on the imported goods is paid by the importer to Customs (Art. 5(2)).
適格請求書の記載事項: 発行者の氏名又は名称及び登録番号、取引年月日、取引内容(軽減税率の対象品目である旨)、税率ごとに区分して合計した対価の額(税抜又は税込)及び適用税率、税率ごとに区分した消費税額等、交付を受ける事業者の氏名又は名称。端数処理は税率ごとに1回。未登録の事業者は適格請求書を発行できない(title falls back to Invoice)。
A plain PDF still counts as the invoice in Japan; a structured e-invoice is accepted where the buyer asks for it.
Invoice by Juros-AI builds the Japan e-invoice — EN 16931 UBL (Peppol BIS 3.0) — and checks it against the official schema on your own machine before anything is sent. Invoice by Juros-AI reads any invoice into clean data and is adding compliant invoice creation — the same rules on this page, built into the engine, run entirely on your own hardware. No cloud, nothing uploaded, no figure invented.
Every generated invoice is validated on your machine against the official artefacts — the OASIS UBL/CII schemas, the CEN EN 16931 schematron, Peppol BIS 3.0, KoSIT XRechnung, FatturaPA, KSeF FA(3) and the Peppol PINT packages. This page is a reference for build scoping; it is not legal or tax advice.
