tax system: The United States, South Korea and other nations employ such a withholding tax system for winnings at their casinos. ; In the system, the government is also considering making it compulsory for casino operators to keep records of chip purchases and win-loss results, according to The Japan Times. Under the system, winnings at casinos will be taxed in a similar fashion to horse racing. The government is studying the tax system because tracking down foreign nationals after they leave the country would be difficult, the sources said Sunday. A tax will be levied on the difference between the value of the chips purchased and the amount of those converted back into cash. The proposals will be included in the outline of fiscal 2020 tax reforms to be finalized by the ruling parties by the end of the month and are expected to be implemented under tax system reforms after April 2021. The requirement to keep records of purchases and win-loss results is designed to prevent players from pretending that chips they won were ones they purchased, or from leaving some chips with a friend inside the premises to reduce their winnings amount.
