Description

The Crypto Tax Filing Guide is a Japan-specific downloadable PDF that walks individuals, traders, and crypto entrepreneurs through the entire process of filing accurate and compliant tax returns involving digital assets. Built around Japan’s National Tax Agency (NTA) regulations, the guide explains how to calculate gains, declare mining income, account for staking rewards, and value airdrops. It details the key tax classifications applicable to different crypto activities—trading, converting, spending, earning, or receiving as gifts—and provides examples of how to treat each scenario using yen-based conversions. Special focus is placed on how to document transactions across centralized exchanges, DeFi platforms, and wallet-to-wallet transfers. Readers learn the difference between realized and unrealized gains, short-term vs long-term holdings, and treatment of foreign exchanges. The guide also covers submission deadlines, forms required (like the Japanese blue return), and common reporting errors to avoid. To simplify the complex calculations, the PDF includes printable worksheets, formula examples, and links to spreadsheet tools that support FIFO and average cost methods. There’s also a detailed section on crypto bookkeeping methods for individuals and sole proprietors. Bonus features include a glossary of tax-related crypto terms, links to NTA circulars, and a sample completed form for reference. For those unsure about cross-border taxation, the guide outlines Japan’s tax treaties and how to handle assets held abroad. Whether you’re a casual investor or managing a growing portfolio, this tax guide removes confusion and helps ensure legal peace of mind.
