Japan's Financial Services Agency has proposed a series of tax reforms for 2026 aimed at overhauling the current cryptocurrency tax framework. The core elements of the reform include two aspects: one is to change the current comprehensive tax system (when cryptocurrency gains are combined with salary income, the maximum tax rate can reach 55%) to a separate fixed tax rate system, with a tax rate of about 20%; the second is to introduce a "three-year loss carry-over" mechanism similar to stock market rules (that is, losses can be deducted from taxable gains for the next three years).
In addition, the Japanese government plans to expand the scope of the "Nippon Individual Savings Account" (NISA) to all age groups. By providing tax incentives, this move will indirectly create a more attractive investment ecosystem for cryptocurrencies.
