Japanese income tax is a cumulative tax that increases tax rate.

However, there is a common misunderstanding here.

When taxable income becomes 10 million yen, it takes 33% of the entire income

This is different.

The high tax rate is only the part in the tax rate zone. In the case of taxable income of 10 million yen, it takes 33% to 1 million yen beyond 9 million yen. The tax rate varies depending on the所得ircase of the income.

In principle, the profit of crypto assets such as Bitcoin is calculated as salary etc. as miscellaneous income. Therefore, the tax amount when 10 million yen profit is generated by BTC will vary greatly depending on the profit of crypto assets as well as salary income and various deductions.

In this article, we will organize the cumulative taxation of income tax with the tax of Bitcoin profit.

What is cumulative taxation?

Cumulative taxation is a mechanism that the higher the tax rate the income increases.

However, it does not take a high rate of tax on the entire income.

As an image, it is a mechanism that separates the income into the stairs and puts another tax rate on each stage.

Low part → Low tax rate
Middle part → Middle tax rate
High part → High tax rate

Because of this, taxable income exceeded 900 million yen a little, the entire income is not taxed suddenly by 33%. 33% is more than 900 million yen.

The image of the tax is quite satisfactory if you mistake here.

Income tax rate

The rate of income tax is divided into 7 levels from段階 to 45%.

More than 1,800 million yen to 40 million yen40%JPY2,796,000
Over 40 million yen45%JPY4,796,000

The taxable income is not the annual income.

It is the amount after deducting salary income, including basic deduction, social insurance premium deduction, dependent deduction, medical expenses deduction, etc.

Annual income of 10 million yen and taxable income of 10 million yen are separate. In the tax article, here is quite easy to mix.

Taxable income of 10 million yen

If the taxable income is 10 million yen, the tax rate is as follows.

Up to 195 million yen →
Over 19 million yen → 10%
Over 330 million yen ~ 695 million yen → 20%
¥9,95 million → 23%
Over ¥10 million → 33%

It does not take 33% in total.

If it is actually broken down, it will be the following calculation:

Part of incomeTax rateTax
¥195 million5%97,500YEN(JP)
¥135 million10%JPY135,000

¥2,200 million23%JPY471,500
100 million yen33%330,000 yen
Total1,764,000 yen

Income tax about 176. 40,000 yen.

The same calculation can be shortened by the Japan Tax Agency's quick calculation.

10 million yen × 33% - 153. 6
= 176. 4

This 176. Special income tax will be added to 40,000 yen. There is also resident tax. Residents tax is slightly different from income tax, but there are many people who consider about 10% in general.

In other words, the taxable income of 10 million yen should be seen "income tax 176. Not only 40,000 yen Reconstruction Special Income Tax and Resident Tax

Figure: Not all tax rates

cumulative taxation is "income stairs" Even if taxable income is 10 million yen, not all becomes 33% 5% 195 10% 330 million yen 20% 69 23% 33% High tax rate Top

Relationship with Bitcoin Profit

In principle, the profit of crypto assets such as Bitcoin is miscellaneous income.

The miscellaneous income is combined with salary income, business income, sub- income, etc., and the total tax is calculated.

For example, a company member considers the following situations:

Salary income: 5 million yen
BTC Profit: 10 million yen
----------------
Total income image: 15 million yen

In this case, the profit of crypto assets is not 20% taxed by itself. The tax rate of income tax increases due to the calculation of salary, etc., and some may enter a zone of 33% or 40%.

So,

BTC Profit 10 million yen = hand picking 10 million yen

にはなりません。

Actual tax amounts vary depending on salary income, salary income deduction, basic deduction, social insurance deduction, dependency, use deduction, medical expenses deduction, etc. This is the difference between people.

Difference from stock investment

It is because the capital investment and taxation method are different that the tax of Bitcoin is heavy.

The transfer of shares, etc. of listed shares, is usually taxed to be calculated separately from other incomes. Income tax 15%,住民 resident tax, 20. 315%

Crypto assets are general taxable miscellaneous income.

項目Listed sharesCrypto assets
Main Tax SystemTaxationTax
How to see tax rateAbout 20. 315%Change according to income
Other income relationshipsulation by principleSalary
High incomeTax rate is very difficult to changeEasy tax rate

Of course, there are detailed points such as dividend taxation, profit and loss arithmetic, NA, and specific accounts in stock.

However, the difference that beginners should push is that crypto assets are in a different world than about 20% taxation of shares.

"How much is the tax if you make 10 million yen in BTC? "There is no one answer

There is no fixed answer to this question.

However, because the profit of crypto assets is combined with other income.

Even if the same BTC profit is 10 million yen, the tax amount will change according to the following conditions.

  • How much salary income
  • How much income after salary income deduction
  • Is there a business income or vice- income?
  • How much social insurance premium deduction?
  • Is there a dependent or use deduction?
  • Is there a medical expenses deduction or金 deduction?
  • How to see deductions and differences in local governments

In practice, it is necessary to see not only the profit amount, but also the taxable income enters the tax rate zone.

If you want to know the amount of tax, you need the following information at least:

Required InformationWhy you need
Annual income or salary incomeComprehensive taxation
Crypto assetsTo add as a miscellaneous income
Acquisition price and feeTo measure profit
Social InsuranceTo lower taxable income
Dependent or SpouseTo avoid deductions
Other sub-業 incomeAs the tax rate zone changes after settlement

You can not pay tax even if you see only the profit amount.

What investors want to remember

Understanding cumulative taxation also changes the behavior when determining profits with crypto assets.

The most important thing is that even if the profit is visible at the moment of sale, the handing is not yet confirmed.

It is safer to think in the next order when a big profit occurs with Bitcoin.

  1. Profit from acquisition price and sale amount
  2. View taxable income that is combined with other income approximate income tax, reconstruction special income tax, resident tax
  3. Leave tax payments in cash
  4. Save transaction history and prepare for final declaration

I want to reinvest all of the market when the market is strong.

However, tax does not disappear even if the market is down. If the price drops after the profit is confirmed, it is easy to become "the asset remains only tax even if it is reduced". This is really scary in crypto assets.


The cumulative taxation of income tax is not a mechanism that takes the same tax rate throughout the income.

The tax rate increases for each所得ircase of the income, and the high tax rate takes only to the high part. If the taxable income is 10 million yen, it will take 33% to the 1 million yen portion beyond 9 million yen.

In principle, the profit of crypto assets such as Bitcoin is calculated as a miscellaneous income.

For this reason, even if the profit is 10 million yen in BTC, handing is not 10 million yen. It is necessary to think including salary income, deduction, dependency, resident tax.

Tax calculations vary by person. However, this is the only one to remember.

The profit of crypto assets remains in cash and then consider the following investment

Just byを守る this order, it is possible to move quite calm in the next year's final declaration.
