Japan to Tax Crypto as Financial Assets in 2026

Published by

Japan’s FY2026 tax reform outline proposes reclassifying crypto assets as financial products under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, cutting the tax rate on gains from up to 55% to a flat 20.315%. Spot, derivatives, and ETF profits would face separate taxation with up to a three-year loss carryforward, aligning with stocks. Staking, lending, and NFTs likely stay under miscellaneous income at progressive rates, pending 2026 legislation.
