The broad and profound reform, the asset tax of 01928374656574839201, should be lowered in response.

The Japanese political scene has recently released significant positive news. According to Bloomberg's report on November 20th, Japanese Prime Minister Shizuka Shiozaki has been given the green light to promote an economic stimulus package and has promised to incorporate the annual tax reform proposal put forward by the opposition Democratic Party. The most eye-catching issue in this reform is the significant reduction of the cryptocurrency asset tax rate from the current 55% 'miscellaneous income' tax system to 20%, aligning it with the stock trading tax rate.

This tax reform has attracted much attention, not only because of its epoch-making significance, but also because it represents the Japanese government's strategic layout for the digital economy. According to Sei Hamaguchi, a senior official of the Democratic Party, the core goal of this reform is to create a more friendly encryption asset investment environment. Currently, Japan's encryption asset tax system is complex and high, with a maximum tax rate of up to 55%, which severely suppresses the enthusiasm of investors. In contrast, the highest tax rate for stock market transactions is only 20%, and the tax burden difference between the two has always been a focal point of criticism in the industry.

The new era of digital economy attracts investment in the blockchain industry

Japan has played an important role in the global encryption market for a long time and is one of the first countries to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. This tax reform is seen as the Japanese government's active response to industry demands, hoping to attract more blockchain and Web3 industry enterprises. Not only the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, but also the opposition Democratic Party is actively promoting digital economic transformation during the election campaign.

The Minister of Digital from the ruling party, Hiraki Akira, expressed that he will study the application of Japan's intellectual property law to Non-fungible Tokens, and vigorously support the start-ups of Crypto Assets through tax system reform. This means that Japan is actively laying out its strategy, hoping to seize the initiative in the global digital economy competition. Currently, Crypto Assets and Blockchain technology have become one of the key strategic drivers for economic transformation.

The reform plan focuses not only on encryption assets, but also synchronizes adjustments to multiple tax policies. The specific contents include: raising the tax-free income threshold from 1.03 million yen (about $6,650) to 1.78 million yen (about $11,435), and temporarily reducing the sales tax to 5% until the wage level increases by 2%. This series of measures is seen as a key strategy for the Japanese government to revitalize the economy.

Economic stimulus plan strives for industrial transformation

This tax reform is an important part of the economic stimulus plan. Japan is currently facing severe challenges such as huge public debt, aging population, and global economic uncertainty. In addition to adjusting the tax system, the government also plans to invest in emerging industries such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, and encourage companies to raise wages and expand investment.

It is worth noting that this reform is not a sudden decision, but a result of careful evaluation. Yuuki Yuichiro, the leader of the Democratic Party, vigorously advocated for digital financial reform during the campaign, emphasizing the use of Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) and encryption currencies to boost the Japanese economy. Although he was not ultimately elected, this idea has resonated in the Japanese political arena and has prompted the ruling party to recognize the importance of the digital economy.

Although some economists believe that these measures can only provide short-term bail-out and long-term structural reforms are still needed. But it is undeniable that this forward-looking tax policy will help Japan reposition the global digital economy landscape and inject new vitality into the long-stagnant economy. It is expected that this reform will officially take effect in 2025, and it will completely change the taxation ecology of encryption assets, opening up new paths for the development of Japan's digital economy.

Policy foresight leads the global digital financial wave

The wave of reforms led by Shih Pomo is not only a tax adjustment in Japan, but also an important milestone in the transformation of Asia's digital economy. By dropping encryption asset tax rates and loosening investment restrictions, Japan is trying to attract global digital economy talents and capital with an open and forward-looking attitude. If this strategy succeeds, it may become a model for other Asian countries to follow.
