JAPAN TAX REFORM DELAYED: 55% Crypto Rate Stays Until 2028 $BTC 🚨
The highly anticipated shift in Japanese crypto taxation has hit a major roadblock. Sources confirm that the move to a stock-like "separate taxation" system—which would slash the tax rate from a crippling 55% down to a flat 20%—is now pushed back to January 1, 2028.
The market had priced in a 2027 rollout alongside the revised Financial Instruments Act. However, the government is prioritizing investor protection and wants to fully observe the impact of existing financial regulations first. This means $BTC and $SOL gains in Japan will remain classified as "miscellaneous income" for the foreseeable future, subjecting investors to marginal tax rates that can exceed half their profits. This delay dampens immediate hopes for a massive influx of capital driven by tax relief. 📉
