I was lecturing on the "invoice system" in my company's E-Learning program, so I used ChatGPT to prepare.
"Please explain the invoice system as simply as possible."
"Explain the invoice system using a familiar, concrete example."
"List the advantages and disadvantages of the invoice system."

My understanding:
"This is an attempt to visualize cash flow in Japan, not at the arterial level but at the capillary level."

This system seems to be effective in preventing tax evasion.
However, it will likely be cumbersome and enormously costly for businesses and consumers.
And I, as a researcher--
As a struggler analyzing human behavior patterns with numbers on a computer every day, I am very interested in the data that the invoice system will provide.
However, it is doubtful that we can get such data released as open data.
At the very least, I believe the government will provide statistical data.
Aside from that.

As a standard citizen, I believe 'I am willing to go to any lengths to evade taxes...or rather, to save taxes.'
I have also done the proper tax returns for my now-deceased father and mother.
I made no false declarations, but I was prepared to arm ourselves with the proper logic regarding necessary expenses and others.
Then, when I could get a refund or reduce the amount in the system, I would shout a battle cry of "I won!"
If you call it "a petty struggle against power by a small citizen," - well, you could say that.
