The plan, published on Dec. 19 by the Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party, proposes moving crypto assets closer to a financial products framework and exploring “separate taxation” across spot trading gains, derivatives, and crypto ETFs. If enacted, it would mark a shift from the current approach where most crypto income is treated as “miscellaneous income” and taxed under progressive rates. CoinPost also notes the draft does not clearly spell out how staking and lending rewards would be handled.
The draft also contemplates allowing crypto-related losses to be carried forward for up to three years, but it would not allow those losses to be netted against stock gains or other asset classes. Implementation will hinge on how “specified crypto assets” are defined and on the legislative timeline that turns the blueprint into enforceable rules.
