FAQ

How much is the basic deduction for gift tax?
Under annual taxation, up to 1.1M JPY per recipient per year is deductible and not taxed. If the total received in a year is 1.1M JPY or less, no filing is required.
What is the difference between a general gift and a special gift?
A special gift applies when a lineal ascendant (parent or grandparent) gives to a child or grandchild who is 18 or older as of January 1 of that year, and uses lower tax rates. Other gifts (between siblings or spouses, or from unrelated parties) are general gifts.
How is gift tax calculated?
Taxable amount = total gifts received in a year - 1.1M JPY basic deduction. The applicable rate (10-55%) from the category-specific quick tax table is applied and the quick deduction is subtracted. Gifts from multiple people in the same year are added together.
When is the gift tax filing deadline?
The recipient generally files and pays at the tax office for their place of residence between February 1 and March 15 of the year following the gift. No filing is required if the total is 1.1M JPY or less.
Is this calculation accurate? Is it safe to use?
This is an estimate based on the quick tax table and does not reflect settlement-at-inheritance taxation or various non-taxable exceptions; consult a tax accountant or the tax office for the actual figures. Also, all calculations run entirely in your browser and the amounts you enter are never sent to or stored on any server, so you can use it with confidence.
