Q10. How much is capital gains tax in Japan?
A10. Capital gains tax varies depending on the length of time the property has been held and whether it has been used as a place of residence or not. The basic calculation is 39% of the capital gain if the property is sold within 5 years and 19% if it is sold after 5 years. There are other mitigating factors and it is best to confirm all tax payments with a registered tax accountant.
