Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is making significant moves toward a more favourable tax regime for cryptocurrency assets. In its recent proposal for fiscal year 2025, the FSA has called for the revision of Japan crypto tax policies surrounding crypto, advocating for it to be treated similarly to traditional financial assets. This push is part of a broader effort to encourage public investment in the digital asset space and modernize Japan’s regulatory framework for crypto taxation.

Crypto Taxation to Align with Traditional Financial Assets

On August 30, the FSA issued a statement highlighting the need to rethink Japan’s crypto tax treatment of cryptocurrency transactions. The agency argues for categorizing digital assets as financial assets, which would establish them as legitimate investment targets for the public. This change would significantly shift from the current tax policy, which classifies crypto profits as miscellaneous income with rates reaching up to 55%.

Under the current system, individuals who earn more than 200,000 Japanese yen (approximately $1,377) from crypto trading face tax rates ranging from 15% to 55%, depending on their overall income bracket. In contrast, the system taxes stock market gains at a flat rate of 20%, even for the highest earners.

The proposed reforms would also affect corporations holding crypto assets. Currently, companies pay a flat tax of 30% on their crypto holdings at the end of the fiscal year, regardless of any realized profits from sales. The FSA’s proposal seeks to align this with the taxation of traditional financial assets under the Japan crypto tax system, aiming for a fairer treatment.

Long Road Ahead for Crypto Tax Reform

While the FSA’s proposal is a positive step for Japan’s crypto sector, the road to implementation is lengthy and complex. Government ministries, including the FSA, submit their tax reform requests to the ruling political party, which then passes them to the country’s tax system research committee. The proposal must gain approval from both houses of Japan’s national legislature—the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors—before it can be enacted into law. Only then will changes to Japan crypto tax take effect.

Despite these challenges, Japan’s crypto advocates remain hopeful. Organizations like the Japan Blockchain Association (JBA) have been actively lobbying for lower crypto taxes for years. In 2023, the JBA formally requested a reduction in the Japan crypto tax rate on crypto profits and proposed a flat 20% tax rate and a three-year loss carryover deduction.

The JBA reiterated these demands in a July 2023 submission for the 2025 fiscal year, aiming to create a more favorable environment for crypto businesses and investors in Japan. While past efforts have not resulted in policy changes, the FSA’s latest proposal could signal a turning point for the industry.
