Japan Grants Tax Exemption to Crypto Token Issuers on Unrealized Gains

Japan's National Tax Agency has clarified that crypto issuers in the country will not have to pay capital gains taxes on unrealized gains. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party tax committee approved a proposal to exempt crypto startups that issue their own tokens from paying corporate taxes on unrealized gains last December. The tax exemption will also apply to unrealized gains from holding applicable cryptocurrency continuously from the date of issuance or from taking certain technical measures to prevent its transfer to other persons.

Japan exempts token issuers from crypto tax on unrealized gains and considers global stablecoin launch.

Token issuers in Japan are now exempt from paying corporate taxes on unrealized cryptocurrency gains, according to a law revision by the National Tax Agency. The tax exemption goes into effect nearly six months after the Japanese government approved a proposal eliminating the requirement for crypto firms to pay taxes on paper gains on tokens they issued and held. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party expects to make it “easier for various companies to do business that involves issuing tokens.”

Crypto Regulations in the Spotlight: Updates on Bills, Lawsuits, and Tax Rules.

Messari CEO Ryan Selkis has praised the newly proposed Republican crypto bill, calling it a "10x improvement" on all other crypto bills introduced to the United States Congress so far. The "Digital Asset Market Structure" (DAMS) bill proposes to establish a framework to fill the gaps in the regulatory process between the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities Exchange Commission on activities related to crypto-assets. The bill provides a pathway for tokens to reach compliance through decentralization without instantly triggering securities laws. The bill was discussed in light of the SEC's recent lawsuits filed against Binance and Coinbase for allegedly breaking securities laws by offering tokens as unregistered securities.
