It is because the method of inheritance tax evaluation is different in cash and real estate, although the high-。 condominium is said to be "inheritance tax measures".

As a general rule, 1 billion yen of cash is evaluated as it is.

Why is it said to be taxable in condominiums?

In conclusion,

There may be a difference between market price and inheritance tax evaluation amount

Comment

Inheritance tax, the property is evaluated by a certain rule.

Cash is easy to understand.

However, the real estate uses the evaluation method for each land and building, not the actual selling price itself.

Cash is evaluated as it is

For example, if inheritance property is only 1 billion yen in cash, the evaluation amount is basically 1 billion yen.

In other words, there is almost no evaluation difference.

Because of this, cash is very simple due to inheritance tax calculation.

Real estate is different

Real estate is mainly evaluated as follows:

区分Main Evaluation Method
LandRoute price or magnification
BuildingBased on fixed asset tax evaluation
ApartmentTotal land use rights and segment ownership

Land is based on fixed asset tax evaluation.

As a result, in popular condominiums in the city, inheritance tax evaluation may be lower than market price.

Why Tower Mansion became a hot topic

The tower apartment has a high market price.

On the other hand, the market price difference due to the number of floors and the view was difficult to reflect in the conventional inheritance tax evaluation.

That's why

Inheritance Tax Evaluationmay be lower than market price

The difference was noted.

This is the background called "Tawaman Tax"

Review of apartment since 2024

The most important thing is that it is not as simple as the old days.

The National Tax Agency has introduced the evaluation method to use the "Segment Ownership Correction Rate" in certain cases for the property owned by the residence acquired by inheritance and gifts after January 1, 2024.

This is a mechanism to adjust the market price of condominiums and the difference of inheritance tax value.

つまり、

"If you buy a high condominium, you can always save tax."

It is dangerous.

Rental apartment may be lowered

When renting an apartment, there is a part where the owner can not use it freely.

Therefore, the evaluation amount may be adjusted depending on the way of thinking such as the borrower’s interest rate and the rental location.

Real estates that can not be used freely may be evaluated

It is.

However, there are risks such as vacancy, repair costs, rent drops, and administrative costs.

Dangerous if you buy only with tax savings

High-value condominiums are not judged only by tax-saving effect.

In particular, the following points are:

Notes内容
Price dropPossibility of losing asset value after purchase
Interest rate risePossibility of increasing loan repayment burden
Repair feeThe possibility of increasing administrative expenses and repair deposit
LiquidityPossibility to sell immediately when you want to sell
TaxationThe possibility of changing the evaluation method

If the real estate price is lower than the tax saving amount, it may be damaged overall.

Inheritance points

Real estate is a difficult asset, unlike cash.

For example, if there are multiple inheritors,

  • Who lives
  • How to sell
  • How to divide rent income
  • Is there a cash to pay inheritance tax?

is a problem.

Even if inheritance tax evaluation is lowered, tax payments and divisional problems between families may remain.

Practical Approach

Recommended

Seen as a design of the entire asset rather than as a tax-saving product

Comment

The points you want to check are:

  • Total cash ratio of inheritance assets
  • Future demand for real estate
  • Profitability and maintenance costs
  • Number of Heirs
  • Easy to sell

Especially beginners are important to think not only tax-saving effect, but also exit strategy.

Points when investing

In condominium investments, there are things to see in addition to tax.

項目Reasons to See
LocationExpect future rental demand and sale price
利回りCheck profitability
Management statusMeasures to maintain asset value
Repair planLong-term cost
Terms of UseReview interest rate rise risk

It is not possible to judge whether it is a good property as an investment only by inheritance tax evaluation.

Easy to misunderstand for beginners

"Higher tax savings"

The price is not determined.

Important is the difference between market price and inheritance tax value, future asset value and profitability.

"Inheritance tax becomes zero"

Tax savings can only be lowered.

Not a way to completely eliminate tax.

"Tawaman Tax is the same as the past."

After 2024, we have reviewed the evaluation method for the property owned by the residents.

It is dangerous to judge with old information.


  • High-value condominiums may be lower than market price
  • There is a case that is easier to evaluate and compress than cash
  • Tower condominium tax is not as simple as the old days
  • Leasing real estate may be reduced, but may be operational risk
  • In addition to tax saving, asset value, profitability, and exit strategy is important

First,

  1. Arrange the entire inheritance property
  2. Check cash and real estate ratio
  3. Ask experts for assessments and tax payments

When you start with these three, you can easily understand the overall image.
