I have just completed the registration for the invoicing system.

This evening, I received a letter from the local tax office. To my surprise, it was a notification of the distribution of the invoicing system number that I had applied for just the other day.

The invoicing number, a 13-digit alphanumeric code starting with 'T,' is for eligible invoices. I was expecting the communication around March 8th, but the notification arrived three days earlier.

I promptly entered the information in the required fields for registration. Although I am planning to operate an EC shopping site, I also need to submit a notification for dealing in second-hand goods.

As my main focus is on D2C drop-shipping, it falls under the category of second-hand dealing business, and thus, the obligation to submit such notification arises.

It seems that simply purchasing products from wholesalers and selling them does not require registration as a second-hand dealer.

For proper classification, it is advisable to inquire with the Consumer Affairs Agency or the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Engaging in second-hand dealing or selling used goods without registration can lead to penalties.

The launch of my goal, a Chinese-origin women's and men's fashion site, is still a long way off.

Regarding the notification to the nearest police station, a registration fee of 19,000 yen is required, and it takes 40 days from the day of application to the next day to complete the process.

I must now start confirming the procedures for accounting classification.

So far, basic bookkeeping for tax declarations has been sufficient, but I need to delve into the details of accounting categorization.
