Has your client ever refused to raise your tax-inclusive rate, despite the consumption tax increase? Has your client ever told you they cannot pay you consumption tax because you are a tax-exempt service provider?
The Small and Medium Enterprise Agency has established a service to help subcontractors address these problems.
Contact the help desk for advice in situations such as when your client has failed to make appropriate payments.
