What a Japanese distributor needs
10% consumption tax built in
Japanese cinemas start with 10% consumption tax inside ticket prices and on rent.
Rental share preset
A preset fills the usual rental of about 50% as a starting point. Your contract decides.
Eirin ratings
Films carry their Eirin rating per version, with a warning on bookings when one is missing.

Questions
Japan: common questions
Is the T-number checked?
Yes. DISTmio checks your registration number and your payers' numbers, and flags any that look wrong before invoicing.
Can we use our own rental terms?
Yes. The 50% preset is only a starting point: you set terms for the company, a chain, a cinema or a single booking, and the narrowest rule wins.
