币界网报道：Japan is set to introduce a flat 20% tax rate on crypto gains starting in 2026, significantly lowering the current progressive tax structure that can exceed 55%. The new tax regime, approved by Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, aims to encourage domestic crypto investment and align digital asset taxation with stock investments. Under current rules, crypto profits are classified as "miscellaneous income" subject to rates up to 55%, while the revised policy will treat them similarly to capital gains from stocks. The change comes as Japan seeks to boost its Web3 industry competitiveness amid increasing global crypto adoption. The tax reduction follows recent regulatory easing, including the removal of unrealized gains taxation for token issuers, as part of broader efforts to revitalize Japan's position in the digital asset sector.
