S. Armed Forces by the U. S. Armed Forces or its authorized procurement agencies.

(b) The underlying objective is to obtain the full amount of the exemption from the tax on U.S.

Forces procurements immediately at the time of purchase and at the same time provide the Contractor a proof of purchase document, acceptable to GOJ tax authorities, which he/she can present to the tax authorities to obtain a tax credit and/or refund for tax already collected and paid by previous sellers.

(c) The exemption from the Japanese Consumption Tax applies not only to prime contractors, but also subcontractors or suppliers at every level regardless of the nationality of the prime contractor whether a Japanese or foreign firm.

(d) By the submission of their offer, the offeror certifies that the Japanese Consumption Tax is not included in the bid/proposal/quote price, nor will it be a part of any subsequent modification to the contract.

Procedures for Contractors to obtain a consumption tax credit are described in USFJ Instruction 51-5 that may be obtained from the Procuring Contracting Office. (End of NAVFAC Language)
