More than one million tax-exempt businesspeople became to invoice issuer.

According to National Tax Agency, 1,048,000 tax-exempt sole proprietorships became to qualified sole proprietorship in the year of 2023.

Since Japanese invoicing system has been effective on and from Oct.1,2023, the No. of filing of tax return on consumption tax in the year of 2023, increased to 1,972,000. (917,000 increased in comparison of year of 2022)

I think the this seems to be triggered by the introduction of the invoice system.
