<h4><strong>In a <a href="https://www.fsa.go.jp/news/r6/sonota/20240830.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tax reform proposal</a> submitted on August 30, the FSA called for treating crypto assets similarly to traditional financial investments. </strong></h4> 
<p>This move could potentially reduce the tax burden on individuals and corporations involved in cryptocurrency trading and holdings.</p> 
<h5><strong>FSA Aims to Ease Crypto Tax Burden</strong></h5> 
<p>Currently, Japan’s tax regime imposes significant taxes on crypto profits. According to crypto accountants <a href="https://tokentax.co/blog/crypto-taxes-in-japan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TokenTax</a>, profits derived from crypto are classified as “miscellaneous income” and subject to tax rates that range from 15% to 55%. It depends on an individual’s income bracket.</p> 
<p>Notably, the highest rate of 55% applies to earnings above 200,000 Japanese yen ($1,377), making it one of the highest tax rates on cryptocurrency globally. In contrast, income earned from stock trading is taxed at a flat rate of 20% at its highest lev</p>

<p>Corporate crypto holders are subject to an even more stringent regime. Japanese corporations holding crypto must pay a flat 30% tax on their holdings at the end of the financial year. Regardless of whether or not they made a profit. This rule has been a significant point of contention for businesses and investors.</p> 
<p>The proposed reforms aim to align the taxation of <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=coins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto assets</a> more closely with that of stocks and bonds. This can potentially reduce tax rates and promoting a more favorable environment for crypto investment. The move reflects the FSA’s broader strategy to integrate cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system.</p>
