Japan's Liberal Democratic Party promotes cryptocurrency tax reform, proposing a separate tax of 20%.

According to Coinpost, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party Digital Society Promotion Headquarters Web3 Working Group chief Akihisa Shiozaki reported that the party's Administrative Investigation Committee officially approved an urgent proposal on the 19th regarding the transformation of crypto assets into beneficial national economic assets.

The report points out that under the current tax system, income generated from cryptocurrency transactions is generally classified as miscellaneous income and subject to comprehensive taxation at a maximum rate of 55% (combined income tax and resident tax), which is stricter than in other countries.

In light of the above points, and whether cryptocurrency assets should be considered public investment assets, the following considerations should be made:
Change the gains and losses generated from cryptocurrency transactions to implement a 'declaration separation tax' system at a 20% tax rate;
Allow losses in the amount of cryptocurrency income to be carried forward for deductions (usable within the next three years);
Cryptocurrency derivatives trading also applies to the 'declaration separation tax' system.
