The government now supports a flat 20% tax on crypto profits, the same rate used for stocks. This is a big shift from today’s system, where taxes can reach 55%. The goal is to simplify rules, reduce the burden on investors, and modernize Japan’s crypto framework. Japan Crypto Tax Reform: From Complicated Brackets to a Flat 20% Rate Currently, crypto earnings in Japan are taxed as “miscellaneous income.” This places traders in the standard income tax brackets, which range from 5% to 45%, plus an additional 10% inhabitant tax for high earners. Meanwhile, profits from stocks and investment trusts are taxed at a flat 20%. This uneven approach has long frustrated Japanese investors. Many argue that the high tax burden discourages trading or pushes activity offshore. A flat 20% rate would create a fairer system, making crypto investing more attractive and easier to manage. FSA Proposal 2026: Government and Regulators Unite on Crypto Tax Changes According to Nikkei Asia, both the national government and the ruling coalition in the Diet support the Financial Services Agency’s (FSA) proposal. The FSA first suggested the change in November and plans to introduce an official bill in early 2026. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Japan Bond Yields Hit Highest Since 2008 – Expert Warns “The Anchor Has Broken” , The proposal will be included in a larger amendment to the…
