On September 4th, Japan's financial regulator released a comprehensive tax reform plan for fiscal year 2025, including provisions for crypto assets to reduce their tax rates. In its August 30 request for tax reform, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) highlighted crypto assets, pushing for them to be treated as traditional financial assets available for public investment. "Regarding the tax treatment of cryptocurrency transactions, cryptocurrencies should be treated as a financial asset and should be an investment target for the public," the FSA wrote. According to cryptocurrency accounting firm TokenTax, cryptocurrency profits in Japan are currently taxed as miscellaneous income, with rates ranging from 15% to 55%.
