Your Key To Japanese Real Estate

Japanese Inheritance Tax Planning

Inheritance tax rates in Japan are progressive and go up to 55%. There are deductions available based on how many members of the immediate family you have, but for wealthy individuals this does very little to change the resulting inheritance tax bill that is left to your family members when you die.

Inheritance tax bills are owed by the individual beneficiaries of the assets. These family members are often not wealthy, meaning that they are forced to sell off investments from the estate or the family home to release the necessary money to pay the taxes owed. Many investors would like to avoid this scenario at all costs.
