Do they also have a “federal” income tax system? I’d be curious if they have both....

Taxation in Japan is based primarily upon a national income tax system and a residential tax based upon one’s area of residence. A consumption tax was introduced in 1989.

Taxes are administered by the National Tax Agency (Their IRS).

LOL, the joke is that they have to pay sales tax when the merchandise is brought into MA. (When Pheasant Lane was built MA actually considered road blocks to search for ‘contraband’ and collect unpaid taxes.) Im sure those out of state shoppers are clamoring to pay that sales tax... My question is if you like big govt and vote for it why do you chomp at paying for it? Oh right, its the royal We...isn’t that just like liberals. We’ll sure come here and spend your $...then go home!

I'll go out on a limb and guess that few of those shoppers are declaring their flat screens,laptops on their state tax returns.Of course I *never* shop in NH or on websites that don't charge MA sales tax. ;-)

Well I suppose a RINO is “barely* better than a DEMO/COMMO.

What the heck happened in the governor’s race? Wasn’t Lynch HORRIBLE?
