FAQ

01Do I need an account?

No. You can start without signing in. Sign in for free to back up your receipts and photos automatically. Once backup is complete, sign in with the same account on another phone to restore them. Use Google, LINE or email to sign in; Apple sign-in is also available on iPhone.

02Is it free?

Yes. The app is free to download, and all features are currently free.

03Which languages are supported?

The app is available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean.

04Is my data backed up?

Your receipts and photos are backed up to your account after you sign in. When signed out, receipts stay on this phone without account backup; cloud scanning still uploads photos for processing. Before deleting the app or changing phones, sign in and confirm backup is complete. Before moving from iPhone to Android, add Google, LINE or email under "Sign-in methods" in the same account.

05Does MyTaxFree process my tax refund?

No. MyTaxFree organizes your receipts and provides refund provider information and official instructions. Stores or refund providers handle refunds under Japanese rules. Refund amounts and fees depend on the actual processing results.

06What changes in November 2026?

From Nov 1, 2026, eligible visitors buying qualifying goods at Japan's tax-free stores pay the price including consumption tax. The store or refund provider refunds the tax after the required customs checks and other procedures. The app's guide to Japan's new tax-free rules and departure checklist help you prepare.

07What happens to my receipt photos?

Receipt photos are used to read, organize and back up your receipts, and to improve scanning quality. They are not made public or used for advertising. Cloud scanning starts only with your consent, and you can turn it off in the app at any time.

08Are the results always accurate?

Not always. Scanning and translation can make mistakes, so check against your original receipt. You can edit the store, purchase date, amount and item details in the app.

09Does it work offline?

You can take and save receipt photos offline, then process them when connected. Saved receipts and the departure checklist can be viewed offline. Some coupons you have shown before can also be shown offline while valid.

10How do I delete my account?

In the app, open "Me", tap your account, then select "Delete account" under "Account & devices". If you cannot use the app, email [email protected] to request deletion. See Deleting Your MyTaxFree Account and Data.
