The esteemed Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, a man who resembles a benevolent grandfather with a penchant for cryptic pronouncements, has proclaimed the development of crypto assets and web3 as “extremely important” for the nation’s salvation. 🤔
A Comedy of Errors!
Kato confirmed that financial regulators are in the throes of a grand debate concerning the 2025 crypto tax reform, pondering “necessary legal arrangements” like a flock of confused pigeons. 🕊️
“The Financial Services Agency will verify the system regarding crypto assets by June of this year,” Kato proclaimed, his voice dripping with bureaucratic certainty. 🥱
In December 2024, just before the announcement of the tax reform outline for fiscal 2025, the Liberal Democratic Party Policy Research Council, a group whose members seem to enjoy excessive use of the word “urgent,” green lit the “Urgent Proposal for Making Cryptocurrency an Asset that Contributes to the National Economy.” 🤪
The draft proposal included a bill that would apply a separate crypto tax on reported profits and losses from cryptocurrency transactions, a scheme that promises to be as confusing as a Rubik’s Cube on a rollercoaster. 😵
Under Japan’s current regulations, crypto falls under “miscellaneous income,” which means Japan’s crypto tax could reach up to 55%, a figure that would make even the most seasoned tax dodger weep. 😭 Meanwhile in October 2024, the Democratic Party for the People, a group known for its penchant for bold pronouncements, pushed for cutting the crypto tax to as low as 20%, a move that could be seen as radical. 🤯
Kato, in a display of bureaucratic flexibility, revealed that regulators are also contemplating a change in how crypto assets are legally defined, as if trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. He stated that regulators are currently receiving input from various stakeholders on the matter, a process that could take longer than the gestation period of a rhinoceros. 🦏
