I have just completed the registration for the invoicing system.

Business Registration Update

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

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

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

Since my main focus is on D2C drop-shipping, this falls under the category of second-hand dealing business, which creates an obligation to submit such notification.

It appears 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 proper registration can lead to penalties.

The launch of my goal—a Chinese-origin women's and men's fashion site—is still far 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 application date to complete the process.

I must now begin confirming the procedures for accounting classification. So far, basic bookkeeping for tax declarations has been sufficient, but I need to examine the details of accounting categorization more thoroughly.
