Hereinafter, the tax exemption sales collective management system (hereinafter, also referred to as the present system) 1 as the tax exemption processing system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16.
(I) Outline of the Embodiment First, the outline of the duty-free sales collective management system 1 will be described.
The tax-exempt sales batch management system 1 according to the present embodiment manages duty-free sales collectively for those who wish to purchase products (foreign travelers visiting Japan, etc.) who have visited non-duty-free shops, thereby performing tax-free sales of consumption tax. Is used to enable.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the duty-free sales collective management system 1.
The tax-exempt sales batch management system 1 is a tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 provided by an entity (hereinafter referred to as a duty-free shop) licensed by the tax office for tax-free sales, and a user terminal 3 used by a user who wishes to purchase. The duty-free sales collective management server 2, the user terminal 3, and the store terminal 4 can communicate with each other via a telecommunication line such as the Internet. It is connected. A plurality of user terminals 3 and a plurality of non-duty-free shop terminal 4s may be connected to a telecommunication line.

The tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 as a tax-exempt processing device is a server device provided by a duty-free shop. Here, duty-free shops are businesses that have obtained permission from the tax office to sell consumption tax exempt, and have sales bases such as dealers and distribution centers in local cities where the penetration rate of duty-free shops is particularly low. The body is suitable.
The user terminal 3 is a mobile terminal used by a purchase applicant. Specifically, it can be a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PDA or a notebook computer.

The store terminal 4 is a terminal used by a clerk of a duty-free shop. In the present embodiment, the store terminal 4 is a tablet terminal communicatively connected to a POS terminal (not shown), but the store terminal 4 and the POS terminal may be integrally configured. In addition to tablet terminals, smartphones, PDAs, and laptop computers can also be used.
Here, a non-duty-free shop is a retail shop, a mass retailer, etc. that has not received permission for tax-free sales of consumption tax from the tax office, and concludes various contracts and arrangements necessary for duty-free sales with the duty-free shop in advance. It is assumed that it is. Further, it is assumed that the information regarding the store name and the store location of the non-duty-free shop is recorded in advance in the storage unit 27 of the duty-free sales collective management server 2.

The flow of receiving tax-free sales of products by this system 1 will be described below.
(1) The purchase applicant accesses the duty-free sales batch management server 2 from the user terminal 3 to register the user information before visiting the non-duty-free shop, and (2) receives the issuance of the user ID. The user information registered here includes the user's name, nationality, passport number, entry date, departure date and time, payment method (credit card information, etc.), and the like.

(3) After that, the purchase applicant who visits the non-duty free shop selects the product and presents the purchase desired product to the clerk. (4) At this time, if the purchase applicant wishes to sell the consumption tax exempt, the user ID as the purchaser information issued in (2) is also presented.
(5) Subsequently, the clerk of the non-duty-free shop who has been presented with the desired product and the user ID inputs the presented information into the store terminal 4, and the sales information consisting of the user ID and the product information is sold in a tax-free manner. Send to management server 2. (6) Then, the duty-free sales collective management server 2 determines whether or not the duty-free sales of the product desired to be purchased can be made to the purchase applicant. The method of determining whether or not duty-free sales are possible will be described later.

(7) If it is determined in (6) that tax-free sales are possible, the tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 executes a purchase process of purchasing the desired product from the non-duty-free shop at a tax-included price, and (8) to the non-duty-free shop. Notify the conclusion of the purchase contract and process the payment of the tax-included price. (9) The clerk who confirms the establishment of the purchase contract at the non-duty-free shop delivers the desired product. In addition, the payment method registered in (1) by the purchase applicant will be used to settle the payment between the purchase applicant and the duty-free shop at a tax-excluded price.

(10) The duty-free shop can receive a consumption tax refund by generating purchase record information that is a record of the duty-free sale and performing a refund procedure with the National Taxation Bureau at a later date.
The above is the flow of exemption from consumption tax when a purchaser purchases a product at a non-duty free shop.

In the past, in order for purchase applicants (foreign tourists visiting Japan, etc.) to be exempt from consumption tax, they had to purchase products at duty-free shops approved by the tax office, and they were exempt from consumption tax at non-duty-free shops. I couldn't get the sale. In other words, when purchasing a product at a non-duty free shop, the desired product had to be purchased at a price including consumption tax.
On the other hand, in this system 1, the duty-free sales collective management server 2 provided by the duty-free shop processes the purchase of the desired product from the non-duty-free shop, and makes a payment between the duty-free shop and the purchase applicant. That is, when a duty-free shop sells a product purchased from a non-duty-free shop, the product desired to be purchased can be sold at a tax-excluded price (tax-free sale).
Then, the non-duty-free shop does not "sell" the product to the person who wants to purchase it, but "delivers" the product purchased by the duty-free shop.

(II) Details of Embodiment In the following, two embodiments (first embodiment and second embodiment) are listed for the tax exemption sales collective management system 1 according to the present embodiment, and the tax exemption sales collective management system according to each embodiment is listed. A configuration example and an operation example of 1 will be described.

After storing the user information in the user information database 271, the user information registration unit 201 transmits the user ID to the user terminal 3.

The sales information acquisition unit 202, which functions as a sales information acquisition means, receives the user ID of the purchase applicant and the product information related to the purchase desired product from the store terminal 4. Here, the product information received by the sales information acquisition unit 202 from the store terminal 4 includes a product code, a product name, a unit price, a quantity, and a tax rate.

The duty-free sales availability determination unit 203, which functions as a duty-free sales availability determination means, determines whether or not the duty-free sales of the product desired to be purchased are possible. Specifically, the user information database 271 stored in the storage unit 27 is searched using the user ID acquired by the sales information acquisition unit 202, and the user information (personal information and immigration information) corresponding to the user ID is used by the user. Read from information database 271. Then, the duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203 determines whether or not the duty-free sales are possible as follows, based on the user information read from the user information database 271 and the product information acquired by the sales information acquisition unit 202.

The determination of whether or not tax-free sales is possible includes three determinations: a determination as to whether or not the purchase price is subject to tax exemption, a non-resident determination, and a confirmation determination of precautions.
First, in determining whether or not the purchase amount is subject to tax exemption, it is determined whether or not the total amount of the tax-excluded price of the desired product is within the "tax exemption range". Here, the "amount in the tax exemption range" means an amount in a predetermined range in which tax exemption sales of the product can be permitted based on the tax-excluded price of the product. In the present embodiment, the tax exemption range for consumables among the products desired to be purchased is 5,000 yen or more and up to 500,000 yen. Here, the consumables include foods, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the like.
On the other hand, the tax exemption range for general goods among the products desired to be purchased is 5,000 yen or more. Here, general goods include home appliances, daily necessities, clothing (clothes and kimonos), jewelry, folk crafts, and the like.
In this way, it is determined whether the purchased product is a consumable item or a general item based on a predetermined type of purchased product, and if the total amount of the tax-excluded price is within the tax exemption range, tax exemption sales are possible. The following non-resident judgment is made. However, the method for determining whether or not the purchase amount is subject to tax exemption is not limited to the above method. For example, it is determined whether the total tax-excluded price of consumables and general goods is within the range of 5,000 yen or more and 500,000 yen, and if it is within the range, the following non-tax-free sales are possible. Residents may be determined.

In the non-resident determination, it is determined whether or not the purchase applicant falls under the category of "non-resident". Specifically, the nationality and the date of entry of the purchase applicant are acquired from the user information database 271, and it is determined that the person has a foreign nationality and six months have not passed since the date of entry. After 6 months, even if the person who wants to purchase the product has a foreign nationality, he / she will be considered as a resident of Japan and will not be allowed to sell duty-free.

Finally, in the confirmation judgment of the precautions, it is determined whether or not the purchase applicant has confirmed the precautions until departure. Here, the precautions are "take out general goods overseas", "take out consumables overseas within 30 days of purchase without using them", and "if it is discovered that they have not been taken out, leave the country. In some cases, consumption tax will be levied. "
In the present embodiment, precautions are displayed on the display unit of the store terminal 4, and the purchase applicant operates the confirmation button of the store terminal 4, so that the duty-free sales batch management server 2 sends a confirmation signal (purchase) from the store terminal 4. When the applicant receives a signal that the applicant has confirmed the precautions), it is determined that the product desired to be purchased can be sold duty-free. However, even if the precautions are displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 3 and the purchase applicant operates the confirmation button of the user terminal 3, the duty-free sales batch management server 2 receives the confirmation signal from the user terminal 3. Good.
In the present embodiment, the judgment of whether or not the tax exemption sale is possible is executed in the order of first judgment as to whether or not the purchase amount is subject to tax exemption, then non-resident judgment, and finally confirmation judgment of precautions. You may change in the order of.

The product purchase unit 204, which functions as a product purchase means, executes the purchase process based on the determination result of the duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203. That is, when the duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203 determines that the duty-free sales are possible, the purchase process of purchasing the desired purchase product from the non-duty-free shop is executed.
In the purchase process in the present embodiment, the following process is executed. First, the non-duty-free shop and the duty-free shop decide to conclude a purchase contract for the desired product, and store the contents of the purchase contract in the purchase history database 272 and the purchase history database 273. Specifically, the product purchase unit 204 calculates the purchase unit price by multiplying the sales unit price of the desired product by a purchase coefficient (a preset coefficient of 1 or less), and receives it from the store terminal 4. The retail store ID, purchase date and time (purchase date and time), purchaser's user ID, and product information (product code, product name, quantity, tax amount) are recorded in the purchase history database 273. Similarly, the purchaser's user ID, purchase date and time, retail store ID, and product information (product code, product name, sales unit price, quantity, tax rate, tax exemption amount) received from the store terminal 4 are recorded in the purchase history database 272. .. The purchase coefficient is a duty-free shop and a non-duty-free shop in order to secure a profit based on the price difference between the selling price offered by the non-duty-free shop and the purchase price purchased by the duty-free shop from the non-duty-free shop. It is a coefficient set by the store.
Next, the product purchase unit 204 generates payment information including the tax-included price of the purchased product and makes a settlement with the non-duty-free shop. Here, the price including tax is calculated based on the product unit price, the quantity, and the tax rate in the product information. Settlement is made by a settlement method concluded in advance between the non-duty-free shop and the duty-free shop. In addition, the product purchase unit 204 generates billing information including the tax-excluded price of the purchased product, and makes a settlement with the purchase applicant. Payment for the purchase applicant is performed by a payment method specified in advance by the purchase applicant.
Finally, the product purchase unit 204 transmits a purchase notice to the store terminal 4. That is, the information that the purchase contract has been established is transmitted to the store terminal 4.

On the other hand, when the duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203 determines that the duty-free sales are not possible, the product purchase unit 204 determines that the purchase contract has not been established for the store terminal 4 and the reason why the duty-free sales are not possible (for example, "Purchase". Send messages such as "The total price of the product is 500 yen short of the tax exemption range." Or "The period of stay in Japan exceeds 6 months."

The delivery instruction unit 205, which functions as a delivery instruction means, generates delivery instruction information for delivering goods from a non-duty-free shop to a place of departure such as an airport or a place of stay after departure, and transmits it to an information terminal managed by an external distribution center. Perform the processing to be performed. Here, the delivery instruction information is information including a delivery source, a delivery destination, and a delivery item, and the location of the non-duty-free shop is the delivery source, the departure place or the place of stay is the delivery destination, and the purchased product is selected. It shall be a delivery item.
Further, the delivery instruction unit 205 determines whether or not the product can be delivered to the delivery destination by the departure date and time (or the desired delivery date and time specified by the user) prior to the generation of the delivery instruction information (acquires the delivery availability information). ), And if delivery is possible, delivery instruction information may be generated. Specifically, it is determined whether or not delivery is possible as follows. First, the delivery instruction unit 205 estimates the lead time of delivery (the required delivery time, that is, the number of days and hours required for delivery of the product) from the positional relationship between the delivery destination and the delivery source (location of the non-duty free shop). Here, the delivery destination is a point designated in advance by the user as described later, and is, for example, a place of departure or a place of stay registered in the user information database 271. Further, the delivery lead time is estimated by referring to a delivery time table in which a predetermined delivery time is stored for a combination between a plurality of delivery bases based on past results and the like. Then, the delivery instruction unit 205 determines that delivery is possible if the estimated delivery date and time obtained by adding the lead time to the current time is earlier than the departure date and time (or the desired delivery date and time), and the estimated delivery date and time is the departure date and time. If it is after that, it is judged that delivery is not possible. A plurality of delivery time tables may be prepared in advance for conditions such as time, day of the week, and product type, and one delivery time table may be selected according to the conditions.

The purchase record information creation unit 206 generates purchase record information when the duty-free sales availability determination unit 203 determines that duty-free sales are possible, and transmits the generated purchase record information to the NTA via a telecommunication line. Submit the purchase record information to the NTA. Here, the purchase record information is adopted by the electronic system of tax exemption sales procedures introduced by the National Tax Agency from April 1, 2nd year of Reiwa, and the fact of tax exemption sales replaces the paper medium (purchase record slip) up to that point. It is electronic information that proves.
Instead of generating the purchase record information, electronic data corresponding to the conventional purchase record slip may be generated and transmitted to the store terminal 4 of the non-duty free shop. In this case, the store terminal 4 that has received the electronic data of the purchase record slip may print out the purchase record slip from the printer connected to the store terminal 4. As a result, the clerk of the non-duty-free shop can attach the purchase record slip printed out from the printer to the passport of the purchaser.

As described above, the user information is composed of personal information that identifies the user, entry / exit information that specifies entry / exit, and payment information that specifies the payment method. Here, a plurality of payment methods can be input as the payment method.

The user ID recording unit 302 receives the user ID from the duty-free sales batch management server 2 and records the received user ID in the storage unit of the user terminal 3.

The payment method selection unit 303 accepts selection input of a payment method actually used from one or a plurality of pre-registered payment methods when purchasing a product at a non-duty free shop. At this time, the payment method selected in the past and the number of selections thereof are accumulated, and the payment method selected most frequently in the past is preferentially displayed, or the payment method selected last time is preferentially displayed. It may be possible to easily perform selection input.

The delivery destination input unit 304 accepts input of the delivery destination of the product purchased at the non-duty free shop. At this time, a pre-registered departure place or a place of stay after departure can be selected as the delivery destination, or an unregistered delivery place can be input. In addition, the user may be able to input that he / she wants to take the product home without wishing to deliver the product.

The QR code generation unit 305 uses a QR code based on the user ID stored in the storage unit of the user terminal 3, the payment method selected by the payment method selection unit 303, and the delivery destination input by the delivery destination input unit 304. Is generated and output to the display unit of the user terminal 3. As will be described later, the QR code output to the display unit of the user terminal 3 is read by the QR code reader of the store terminal 4. In this embodiment, the QR code is generated, but a one-dimensional code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code such as DataMatrix or VeriCode may be output.

<< About the functional configuration of the store terminal 4 >>
Next, the function of the store terminal 4 will be described.
FIG. 8 shows the functional configuration of the store terminal 4. The store terminal 4 has a product information acquisition unit 401, a QR code reading unit 402, and a purchase notification display unit 403.

The product information acquisition unit 401 acquires information on the product desired to be purchased selected by the person wishing to purchase. Specifically, when a purchaser brings the desired product to the cash register (sales area) of a non-tax-exempt store, the clerk reads the barcode attached to the desired product using the barcode reader of the POS terminal. , The POS terminal acquires the product information. Then, the product information acquisition unit 401 of the store terminal 4 connected to the POS terminal via the communication line acquires the product information of the product desired to be purchased via the communication line. The product information includes information on the product code, the product name, the sales unit price (excluding tax), the quantity, and the tax rate.

The QR code reading unit 402 reads the QR code displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 3 and decodes the read QR code to acquire the user ID, payment method, and delivery destination. The acquired user ID, payment method, and delivery destination are transmitted from the store terminal 4 to the duty-free sales batch management server 2 together with the product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 401. The QR code reading unit 402 may read not only the QR code but also a one-dimensional code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code such as DataMatrix or VeriCode.

The purchase notification display unit 403 receives the purchase notification from the duty-free sales batch management server 2 and outputs it to the display unit of the store terminal 4. Specifically, when the purchase contract is concluded, that fact is displayed. On the other hand, if the purchase contract is unsuccessful, that fact and the reason why duty-free sales are not possible (for example, "The total amount of purchased products is 500 yen short of the tax-free range" and " A message such as "The length of stay in Japan has exceeded 6 months.") Is displayed.

<< Sequence of user information registration processing according to this embodiment >>
Next, the user information registration process will be described as an operation example of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 and the user terminal 3.
FIG. 9 shows a sequence of user information registration processing.
First, the CPU of the user terminal 3 displays the user information registration screen on the display unit and monitors whether or not the user information has been input (step S11).

FIG. 10 shows an example of the user information registration screen.
10 (a) is an input screen for personal attributes of user information, FIG. 10 (b) is an input screen for immigration information of user information, and FIG. 10 (c) is payment information of user information. Is an input screen displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 3 by selecting the "personal attribute", "immigration information", and "payment information" tabs, respectively.
Here, the user information registration screen is displayed in the native language of the foreigner in order to facilitate input and operation by the foreigner who is planning to visit Japan. However, in FIG. 10, for convenience of explanation, Japanese is used. It is displayed with.

On the input screen for personal attributes shown in FIG. 10A, the user's name, gender, date of birth, nationality, and passport number can be input.
On the input screen for immigration information shown in FIG. 10B, it is possible to input the place of entry, the date of entry, the place of departure, the date and time of departure, and the place of stay.
On the input screen for the payment information shown in FIG. 10 (c), the payment method and the expiration date thereof can be input. Here, only one payment method and its expiration date may be registered, but a plurality of payment methods and their expiration dates can also be registered. As a result, when purchasing a product at a non-duty free shop, the payment method can be specified simply by selecting the desired payment method from the pre-registered payment methods, and for example, a plurality of payment methods can be used. It is possible to easily use them properly according to the situation.

By pressing the registration button after completing the input for all the input items shown in FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (c), the input user information is transmitted from the user terminal 3 to the duty-free sales batch management server 2. To.

Returning to FIG. 9, when the user information is input and the registration button is pressed, the CPU of the user terminal 3 transmits the user information to the tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 via the communication interface of the user terminal 3, and the tax-free sales. The CPU 21 of the batch management server 2 receives user information from the user terminal 3 (step S12).
The CPU 21 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 determines whether or not the received user information has been registered by collating it with the record stored in the user information database 271. If it is not registered, the CPU 21 determines that it is a new user registration and issues a new user ID (step S13). Then, the CPU 21 associates the user ID and the user information and stores the user information as the user information database 271 of the storage unit 27 (step S14).

The CPU 21 transmits the newly issued user ID to the user terminal 3 via the communication interface 26. The CPU of the user terminal 3 receives the user ID (step S15) and records it in the storage unit of the user terminal 3 (step S16). With the above, the duty-free sales batch management server 2 and the user terminal 3 complete the user information registration process.

By executing the user information registration process according to the above procedure, passport information and immigration information of foreign tourists visiting Japan are pre-registered, so when purchasing products at non-duty free shops, as will be described later. It is not necessary to show a passport or the like at the store, and it becomes possible to purchase products smoothly.

<< Sequence of product purchase processing according to this embodiment >>
Next, as an operation example of the duty-free sales collective management server 2, the user terminal 3, and the store terminal 4, the product purchase process in the non-duty-free shop will be described. The product purchase process is a process performed when a person who wants to purchase a product brings the product he / she wants to purchase to a cash register (sales area) of a duty-free shop.
11A and 11B show a sequence of product purchase processing.
As shown in FIG. 11A, the CPU of the store terminal 4 displays a product information input screen on the display unit of the store terminal 4 and monitors whether or not the product information of the desired product has been input by the clerk (step). S21). The product information may be directly input by the clerk to the store terminal 4, or may be acquired from the POS terminal operated by the clerk via the communication line.
When the product information is input (step S21; Yes), the CPU of the store terminal 4 waits in a state where the product information input screen is displayed (step S25).

FIG. 12 shows an example of the product information input screen.
On the product information input screen, the product information input by the clerk is displayed in a list, and the "payment" button and the "cancel" button are displayed at the bottom of the list display.
When the clerk presses the "payment" button, the screen transitions to the QR code reading screen, and the QR code can be read.

Returning to FIG. 11A, the CPU of the user terminal 3 monitors whether or not the purchase applicant has input the payment method and the delivery destination (step S22). When the payment method and delivery destination are input (step S22; Yes), the user ID is read from the storage unit of the user terminal 3 and a QR code is generated based on the user ID, the payment method, and the delivery destination (step S23). ..
The CPU of the user terminal 3 displays the generated QR code on the display unit of the user terminal 3 and waits until it is read by the QR code reader of the store terminal 4 (step S24).

When the CPU of the store terminal 4 determines that the QR code has been read (step S25; Yes), it analyzes the QR code to acquire the user ID, the payment method, and the delivery destination, and the product input in step S21. It is sent to the duty-free sales batch management server 2 together with the information. The CPU 21 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 receives the user ID, product information, payment method, and delivery destination from the store terminal 4 (step S26). That is, the duty-free sales batch management server 2 acquires sales information including purchaser information and product information in step S26 (sales information acquisition step).

Subsequently, the CPU 21 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 acquires the user information of the purchase applicant from the user information database 271 (step S27). That is, the CPU 21 acquires the user information of the purchase applicant by searching the user information database 271 using the received user ID as a key.
Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not duty-free sales are possible (step S28) (step to determine whether or not duty-free sales are possible). As mentioned above, here, three judgments are made: whether or not the purchase price is subject to tax exemption, non-resident judgment, and confirmation judgment of precautions, and when it is judged that tax exemption sales are possible in all judgments. In addition, duty-free sales will be possible.
The CPU 21 first determines whether or not the total amount of the tax-excluded price of the desired product is within the tax exemption range. That is, the total amount of the purchased products excluding tax is calculated, and the calculated total amount is compared with the tax exemption range stored in the RAM 23 in advance. If it is determined that the total amount is within the tax exemption range, the following non-resident determination is performed.

In the non-resident determination, it is determined whether or not the purchaser has a foreign nationality based on the user information read from the user information database 271. If it is determined that the purchaser has a foreign nationality, the elapsed period from the time the purchaser entered Japan to the present is calculated, and it is determined that 6 months or more have not passed. And finally, the confirmation judgment of the precautions is made. That is, it is determined whether or not a signal indicating that the precautions have been confirmed has been received from the store terminal 4 via the communication interface 26.

When it is determined that duty-free sales are possible (step S29; Yes), the CPU 21 executes a purchase process including steps S30 to S33 and step S37 (commodity purchase step). That is, the CPU 21 first determines the establishment of the purchase contract for the desired product received from the store terminal 4 (step S30).
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11B, the CPU 21 calculates the consumption tax amount based on the purchase price (purchase price) of the product desired to be purchased from the non-duty-free shop, and prepares the product together with the retail store ID, the purchase date and time, the user ID, and the product information. Record in the entry history database 273 (step S31). Next, the CPU 21 calculates the consumption tax amount (tax exemption amount) based on the selling price of the product to the purchase applicant, and records it in the purchase history database 272 together with the user ID, the purchase date and time, the retail store ID, and the product information (step S32). ..
Subsequently, the CPU 21 generates payment information and billing information (step S33). That is, payment information (tax-included price) for purchasing (purchasing) the product desired to be purchased from a non-duty-free shop and billing information (tax-excluded price) for selling the product to the purchaser are generated, and payment is made based on this information. I do. Payment to non-duty-free shops may be made by sending transfer information consisting of a transfer account (non-duty-free shop account) and transfer amount (tax-included price) to the server of an external financial institution, but with duty-free shops and non-duty-free shops. Any payment method can be used as long as it is a method concluded in advance between the two parties. Further, the payment for the purchase applicant is performed by the payment method selected and input in step S23 described above.
On the other hand, if it is determined that duty-free sales are not possible (step S29; No), the process proceeds to step S34.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 estimates the delivery lead time (step S34). Specifically, the location of the non-duty-free shop is used as the delivery source, and the lead time to the delivery destination (for example, the place of departure or the place of stay) specified in advance is estimated by referring to the above-mentioned delivery time table. Then, the CPU 21 determines whether or not delivery is possible (step S35). That is, if the date and time (estimated delivery date and time) obtained by adding the lead time estimated in step S34 to the current time is before the departure date and time (or desired delivery date and time), it is determined that delivery is possible (step S35; Y), and the product Generate delivery instruction information (step S36). That is, the location of the non-duty-free shop is set as the delivery source, the point input in step S22 is set as the delivery destination, and the delivery instruction information with the purchased product as the delivery item is generated and transmitted to the delivery management server managed by the external delivery center. Perform the processing to be performed. As a result, foreign travelers who are purchasers can receive the purchased products at the place of departure or the next place of stay at the time of departure, so that they do not have to carry the purchased products during their stay in Japan and are comfortable. You can enjoy your trip. On the other hand, if the estimated delivery date and time is after the departure date and time, it is determined that delivery is not possible, and the process proceeds to step S37.

Further, the CPU 21 transmits a purchase notification to the store terminal 4 via the communication interface 26 (step S37). That is, when the purchase contract is established, the fact that the purchase contract has been established is transmitted. On the other hand, if the purchase contract is not concluded, the reason why it is judged that duty-free sales are not possible (for example, "The total amount of purchased products is 500 yen short of the tax exemption range" and " I have been staying in Japan for more than 6 months. "
The CPU of the store terminal 4 receives the purchase notification (step S36) and displays the purchase notification display screen on the display unit of the store terminal 4 (step S38).

By executing the product purchase process according to the above procedure, the duty-free shop that provides the duty-free sales batch management server 2 purchases the products desired by foreign tourists visiting Japan from the duty-free shop. It is possible to carry out duty-free sales of products that you wish to purchase.

Although the embodiment of the tax-exempt sales collective management system 1 of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. It is possible.
For example, in the present embodiment, when purchasing a product at a non-duty-free shop, only the user ID is presented, and it is not necessary to present the passport.
On the other hand, when purchasing a product for the first time at a duty-free shop (for example, at the time of the first purchase of the day), both the user ID and the passport may have to be presented at the shop. In this case, the tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 extracts user information from the user information database 271 based on the user ID, and executes a collation process for collating the extracted user information with the passport information presented at the store. If the verification is successful, it is not necessary to show the passport at the time of the second and subsequent purchases of the product, and the product can be purchased by presenting only the user ID.
This prevents fraudulent acts by registering false user information and receiving consumption tax exemption sales, and fraudulent acts by so-called "spoofing" in which consumption tax exemption sales are received using another person's user ID. Since it is not necessary to show the passport at the time of the second and subsequent purchases, it is possible to smoothly purchase the products at the store.

Further, in the present embodiment, a foreign tourist visiting Japan, who is a user, visits a non-duty-free shop after registering user information in advance and receiving a user ID, and presents the user ID at the store to purchase products. It was explained as.
On the other hand, even a user who has not been issued a user ID may be able to receive duty-free sales by presenting his passport at a non-duty-free shop. In this case, when a user who has not been issued a user ID presents a passport or the like at a non-duty-free shop, the store terminal 4 of the non-duty-free shop displays purchaser information and products including personal information and immigration information displayed on the passport. Information and information are transmitted to the duty-free sales batch management server 2. Then, the duty-free sales batch management server 2 determines whether or not the duty-free sales are possible based on the purchaser information and the product information received from the store terminal 4, and executes the purchase process if it is determined that the duty-free sales are possible.
As a result, even a foreign traveler who visits a non-duty-free shop without registering user information can receive consumption tax exemption sales at the non-duty-free shop.

Further, in the present embodiment, the tax exemption process for which the consumption tax is exempted has been described.
On the other hand, tax exemption processing may be performed for liquor tax and tobacco tax. In this case, the tax-exempt sales possibility determination unit 203 described above determines whether or not the purchase quantity is subject to tax exemption, instead of determining whether or not the purchase amount is subject to tax exemption. For example, in the case of alcoholic beverages, it may be determined that duty-free sales are possible when the number of alcoholic beverages in a bottle of 760 ml is 3 or less.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that delivery instruction information is generated by the duty-free sales collective management server 2 for all purchased products, delivered to the departure place by the delivery company, and delivered at the departure place.
On the other hand, it is preferable that the purchaser can select whether or not he / she wants to deliver the product.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the delivery cost from being incurred by the delivery company even when the product that does not become a large package is purchased.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the delivery instruction unit 205 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 calculates the estimated delivery time and determines whether or not the delivery is possible based on the calculated estimated delivery time.
On the other hand, the delivery information including the delivery source, the delivery destination, the delivery product, and the departure date and time (or the desired delivery date and time) is transmitted to the information terminal operated and managed by the external distribution center, and the information of the distribution center is transmitted. The tax-exempt sales batch management server 2 may receive the delivery availability determination result (delivery availability information) determined by the terminal.
As a result, the processing load of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the purchase process of the product is performed when it is determined that the duty-free sale is possible.
On the other hand, if it is determined that duty-free sales are possible, settlement is possible, and delivery is possible, and all of them are satisfied, the purchase process of the product may be performed. .. Here, the determination of whether or not payment is possible can be performed by inquiring (credit inquiry) to the center terminal of an external payment institution or the like whether or not payment is possible by the payment method selected by the purchase applicant. it can.
As a result, the reliability of commercial transactions can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the purchase record information creation unit 206 creates the purchase record information and transmits it to the NTA via a telecommunication line.
On the other hand, the external approval transmission company and the duty-free shop share the prescribed information necessary for creating the purchase record information, and the approval transmission company creates the purchase record information and sends it to the NTA. You may ask for.
This makes it possible to reduce the business cost related to the purchase record information.

<< About the duty-free sales batch management system according to the second embodiment >>
Next, the duty-free sales collective management server 2a according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16.
In the first embodiment described above, the duty-free sales batch management server 2 determines whether or not duty-free sales are possible based on the sales information when the purchase applicant wishes to purchase the product at one non-duty-free shop, and the duty-free sales are performed. It was explained that the purchase process of the desired product is executed when it is possible.
On the other hand, the tax-exempt sales batch management server 2a of the second embodiment described below is the product price (excluding tax) when the purchase applicant wishes to purchase the product at a plurality of non-duty-free shops within a predetermined period. Based on the aggregated results of the above, it is determined whether or not duty-free sales are possible, and if duty-free sales are possible, the purchase process of the product is executed, and the consumption tax payment amount is settled as necessary.
Here, the predetermined period is a period during which tax-free sales can be permitted based on the aggregated result of the tax-excluded price of the purchased products within that period, and in the present embodiment, one day, that is, the next day starting at midnight. It is a period that ends before midnight. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as an aggregation period.
The settlement process is a process of ex post facto payment of the shortage of the consumption tax paid for the products purchased during the aggregation period.

FIG. 13 shows the functional configuration of the duty-free sales batch management server 2a in the second embodiment, and the duty-free sales batch management server 2a includes a user information registration unit 201, a sales information acquisition unit 202, and a duty-free sales availability determination unit. It has 203a, a product purchase unit 204, a delivery instruction unit 205, a purchase record information creation unit 206, a settlement processing unit 207a, and a tax exemption information output unit 208a.
The tax exemption sales batch management server 2a of the second embodiment changes the tax exemption sales possibility determination unit 203 of the tax exemption sales batch management server 2 shown in FIG. 2 to the tax exemption sales possibility determination unit 203a, and changes the settlement processing unit 207a and the tax exemption information output unit. 208a is added. Since the other configurations are the same as those of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted, and only the different parts will be described.

The duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203 in the first embodiment determines whether or not the purchase amount is subject to tax exemption in order to determine whether or not the purchase desired product can be sold tax-free at the time of purchasing the product at the non-duty-free shop. It was explained that three judgments, a non-resident judgment and a confirmation judgment of precautions, are performed.
On the other hand, the duty-free sales possibility determination unit 203a in the second embodiment performs a primary determination executed at the time of purchasing a product at a non-duty-free shop and a secondary determination executed after the aggregation period has elapsed. Here, as the primary determination, only two determinations, a non-resident determination and a confirmation determination of precautions, are performed. That is, when purchasing a product at a non-duty-free shop, it is determined whether or not the product can be sold tax-free without determining whether or not the tax-excluded price of the product desired to be purchased is within the tax-exempt range. If it is first determined that duty-free sales are possible, the purchase applicant can receive the purchased product without paying the consumption tax. Then, after the aggregation period has elapsed, the tax-excluded prices of the products purchased at the plurality of non-duty-free shops purchased during the aggregation period are aggregated and compared with the amount in the tax exemption range to determine whether or not the duty-free sales are possible. This is the secondary judgment. If it is determined in the secondary determination that duty-free sales are not possible after the primary determination determines that duty-free sales are possible, the settlement processing unit 207a, which will be described later, will settle the consumption tax amount that has not been paid.

After the aggregation period has elapsed, the settlement processing unit 207a, which functions as a settlement means, setstles the products purchased during the aggregation period when there is an unpaid consumption tax amount.
As mentioned above, if it is judged that tax exemption sales are possible in the primary judgment and then tax exemption judgment is not possible in the secondary judgment, the products purchased at the tax-excluded price will not be subject to tax exemption sales. Unpaid consumption tax will occur.
Therefore, the settlement processing unit 207a refers to the purchase history database 272, calculates the consumption tax amount based on the information on the unit price, quantity, and tax rate of the purchased product for which the consumption tax has not been paid, and consumes it to the purchaser. In addition to generating tax billing information, consumption tax payment information to the National Tax Agency is generated and each settlement is performed.

The tax exemption information output unit 208a outputs the tax exemption information to the user terminal 3 when the user terminal 3 requests an inquiry for the tax exemption information. Here, the tax exemption information is the purchase history information obtained by extracting only the records related to the user who made the inquiry request from the purchase history database 272, and the tax-excluded price of the purchased product is aggregated for each aggregation period based on the purchase history information. However, if the aggregated result is within the tax exemption range, the tax exemption amount is added, and if it is not within the tax exemption range, the excess or deficiency amount is added.
By outputting such tax exemption information to the user terminal 3, the user can confirm his / her own tax exemption information and recognize the tax exemption amount due to tax exemption sales or the excess / deficiency amount required to receive the consumption tax exemption. This will make it possible and increase the convenience of foreign tourists visiting Japan for shopping in Japan.

<< Flow of settlement processing according to the second embodiment >>
Next, the settlement process of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 will be described.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the settlement process. The settlement process is a process executed by the CPU 21 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 after the purchase amount for the aggregation period (1 day in the present embodiment) is fixed.
The CPU 21 determines whether or not the consumption tax payment amount needs to be settled by the above-mentioned secondary determination (step S41). That is, by acquiring the purchase history information from the purchase history database 272 and calculating the total value of the tax-excluded prices of the purchased products within the aggregation period for each user, the tax-excluded prices of the products purchased at one or more stores are aggregated. Ask for the result. Then, by comparing the amount of the tax exemption range stored in advance in the RAM 23 with the aggregation result, it is determined whether or not the tax exemption sale is possible, and whether or not there is a consumption tax that has not been paid.

When it is determined that the consumption tax payment amount does not need to be settled (step S41; No), the CPU 21 ends the settlement process without performing the subsequent processing. On the other hand, when it is determined that the consumption tax payment amount needs to be settled (step S41; Yes), the purchase history database 272 is modified (step S42). That is, among the purchase history information stored in the purchase history database 272, the tax exemption amount is corrected to 0 yen for the record of the purchase history information of the target user whose purchase date and time is within the aggregation period.
Subsequently, billing information for the purchaser is generated (step S43). Here, the billing information is information including the consumption tax amount that has not been paid, and based on this billing information, the purchase applicant makes a payment by a payment method specified in advance.

By executing the settlement process according to the above procedure, when a foreign tourist visiting Japan purchases products at multiple non-duty free shops, the total amount of the products purchased at one non-duty free shop is within the tax exemption range. Even if the amount is less than the amount (for example, 5,000 yen), if the aggregated result of the product prices purchased at a plurality of non-duty-free shops is within the tax-exempt range, it is possible to receive the consumption tax-free sale. As a result, it is possible to prevent the opportunity to sell the product from being lost.
In addition, when a foreign tourist visiting Japan purchases a product at a non-duty free shop, the product is purchased at a tax-excluded price at the store, and after the purchase price for the day is confirmed, the aggregated result of the product price purchased on that day is tax exempt. If the amount is less than the range, the unpaid consumption tax can be settled. As a result, the consumption tax of the products purchased at a plurality of non-duty-free shops is paid at once, so that the tax payment procedure can be simplified.

<< Sequence of tax exemption information output processing according to the second embodiment >>
Next, the tax exemption information output processing will be described as an operation example of the user terminal 3 and the tax exemption sales batch management server 2.
FIG. 15 shows a sequence of tax exemption information output processing. First, the CPU of the user terminal 3 displays a login screen on the display unit and monitors whether or not the user ID and password have been input (step S51). When it is determined that the user ID and password have been input (step S51; Yes), the CPU of the user terminal 3 transmits the user ID and password information to the duty-free sales batch management server 2 (step S52).

The CPU 21 of the duty-free sales batch management server 2 receives the user ID and password from the user terminal 3 and authenticates the user (step S53). That is, the user ID and password are acquired from the user information database 271 and collated with the user ID and password received in step S52. If the user ID and password match, it is determined that the user authentication has been successful. When the user authentication fails, the user terminal 3 is notified of the authentication failure, but in the following description, it is assumed that the user authentication has succeeded.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 extracts a record of the user ID that matches the user ID acquired in step S52 from the purchase history information stored in the purchase history database 272 (step S54). Then, tax exemption information is generated based on the extracted purchase history information (step S55). That is, the tax-excluded price of the purchased product is totaled based on the extracted purchase history information, and the totaled result is compared with the amount of the tax exemption range. If the amount is within the tax exemption range, the tax exemption amount is calculated from the tax-excluded price and tax rate information of the purchased product. On the other hand, if the amount does not fall within the tax exemption range, the excess or deficiency amount with respect to the tax exemption range amount is calculated.

The CPU 21 transmits the generated tax exemption information to the user terminal 3 (step S56). The CPU of the user terminal 3 receives the tax exemption information, displays the tax exemption information output screen on the display unit, and outputs the tax exemption information (step S57).

FIG. 16 shows an example of the tax exemption information output screen.
Here, the tax exemption information output screen is displayed in the native language of the foreigner in order to facilitate input and operation by a foreign tourist visiting Japan, but in FIG. 16, it is displayed in Japanese for convenience of explanation. doing.
As shown in FIG. 16, on the tax exemption information output screen, the purchase date, the purchase history information on the purchase date, and the total amount of the total amount of the tax-excluded prices of the purchased products are displayed. If the aggregated result is within the tax exemption range, the tax exemption amount is also displayed. On the other hand, if the aggregated result does not fall within the tax exemption range, the excess and deficiency amounts are also displayed. FIG. 15 shows an example in which the total result is 400 yen short of the tax exemption range amount. Instead of displaying the excess or deficiency amount for the tax exemption range in this way, a message such as "The total amount of purchased products is 400 yen short of the tax exemption range" may be displayed.
With the above, the user terminal 3 and the tax exemption sales batch management server 2 complete the tax exemption information output process.

By executing the tax exemption information output processing by the above procedure, the foreign tourist visiting Japan confirms the tax exemption information displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 3, and the user can obtain his / her own tax exemption amount or tax exemption. You will be able to recognize the amount of excess or deficiency to receive.
