Japan\u2019s<\/a><\/em><\/strong> three casino operators to keep records of purchases of each individual gambler\u2019s purchase of chips upon entering the casino, amount of chips converted into cash when leaving, amount of chips purchased at the gambling tables and results of each game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut this won\u2019t be government\u2019s responsibility. These records will be collected by each casino and they have to provide the information to each gambler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan is to check which tourists have to pay taxes when they leave the country, but it depends on the treaty that Japan has with each country. For example, visitors from China o Thailand would pay taxes to Japanese authorities, while people from the United States and South Korea will be taxed by their country\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ruling coalition wants to include this plan in their tax system reform outline to be compiled in December.
