[TAIMATSU x Digital Wallet] Fully Compatible with 2026 Tax-Free Refund System! 'SAMURAI TAX' and 'TAX REFUND JAPAN' Integration Begins

TAIMATSU Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Wang Weihan), which promotes the charm of traditional crafts through its Japanese knife brand 'MUSASHI JAPAN,' and Digital Wallet Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Eiji Miyakawa), a major overseas remittance provider, have announced a system integration between TAIMATSU's 'SAMURAI TAX' tax-free support service and Digital Wallet's 'TAX REFUND JAPAN' remittance service. This partnership is designed for the major revision of Japan's consumption tax exemption system for inbound tourists scheduled for November 2026. Due to the tax law reform, Japan will transition from the 'purchase-time exemption' to a 'refund method' (post-departure refund) to prevent illegal resales. This collaboration provides a highly convenient, legally compliant, and secure tax-free refund solution for both merchants and tourists. SAMURAI TAX is web-based, requiring no app installation, and offers zero initial or monthly fees, taking commissions from the refund amount. It enables applications in as little as one minute via passport scanning and Visit Japan Web QR codes, and integrates with Shopify POS for automatic order retrieval. Refunds are processed through TAX REFUND JAPAN, supporting credit cards, bank transfers, mobile wallets, and cash pickups, while ensuring strict compliance with AML/KYC regulations through rigorous screening.
