Tuesday, 3 March | 2026 Japan inbound tax reform webcast (13:30 JST)

In December 2025, the Japanese Government issued its tax reform proposals for 2026. If confirmed in the Diet in Spring 2026, these measures would generally take effect as of 1 April 2026.

The 2026 tax reform package comes at a critical juncture for Japan’s economy. Faced with persistent inflationary pressures, demographic shifts, and global competition for investment, policymakers have prioritized measures that stimulate growth while ensuring fairness and sustainability.

There is a focus to make Japan a more attractive location for overseas investment and for investment for individuals in crypto assets for example. At the same time there may be significant additional burden in terms of administration for platform companies and more generally for intra-group transactions (domestic and international).

EY Japan Tax would like to provide our inbound clients with an overview of these measures so you can assess the relevance for your businesses. We will also provide other related updates on the Japanese tax environment. For this, we are pleased to invite you to join our EY 2026 Japan inbound tax reform webcast.

Within our agenda we will include the following:

  • Corporate tax

  • International tax

  • Personal tax

  • Indirect taxes

The webcast will be held in English. We aim to leave time for a Q&A discussion at the end of the seminar.

We look forward to your attendance at this webcast.
