According to a report by Japanese media outlet livedoor on December 25th, a convenience store operator in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, has been accused of violating the Consumption Tax Law by engaging in fraudulent duty-free sales of e-cigarettes and subsequently obtaining illegal tax refunds. The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau has reported the case to the local prosecutor's office.

This sudden development undoubtedly presents a new task for the Chiba District Prosecutor's Office, as they will need to conduct a thorough investigation to determine if any illegal activities have taken place. The public in Chiba is now eagerly awaiting further developments and judgments from the prosecutors.
