As creators are exercising their copyright when selling stickers they have designed, this act is considered a taxable transaction under income tax withholding law.
The following is a summary of the taxation rates applied:
For creators residing in Japan with individual accounts
For payments of JPY 1 million or less = payment amount x 10.21%.
For payments exceeding JPY 1 million = (payment amount - JPY 1 million) x 20.42% + JPY 102,100.
For creators residing in Japan with corporate accounts
No tax (0%)
For creators residing outside Japan with individual or corporate accounts
Payments will be taxed at 20.42%, regardless of the amount.
Important: The payment amount is your revenue share BEFORE any applicable withholding taxes, money transfer fees, and/or foreign exchange fees are deducted. However, creators residing outside of Japan with individual or corporate accounts, whose country of residence has established a tax convention with Japan, may be able to receive a reduction or exemption for the amount of tax withheld, by submitting the "Application Form for Income Tax Convention" document.
