Taxes When Selling Real Properties in Japan
In the last two blogs, I wrote about real property-related taxes when purchasing and earning rent in Japan. This time, I will explain taxes when selling real estate in Japan.
1. Income Taxes
– For Company
Not only selling profit or loss but also total based profit, including rent revenue and costs, all company’s profit is taxed by around 30%. It includes local tax and business tax. Selling profit or loss is calculated by deducting the purchasing amount after depreciation from the sale amount and related costs. The duration of depreciation is mainly 15 years to 35 years.– For Individual Business
In this case, the tax of the gain from selling property is separated from other income like salary. Selling gain and loss is calculated simillar to companies. The tax rate is around 20% when holding duration is over five years, whild the case under five years is around 40%. It includes rocal tax.2. Consumption Tax
Transaction of land is not taxed and building is basically taxed by 10%. However, if your buldings are used on only residential use, this rent is not taxed, so selling deal might be not taxed.Author Profile

I started learning English when the Pandemic spread as a way to change my mood. It has been a few years, and I have been supporting foreign people and companies with pleasure. This is very rewarding because I can learn about different values, thoughts, and cultures. Then, I respect all people who come to Japan to try a new business.
