👨💼【Teacher / Overseas Investor】:
I'm interested in purchasing rental property in Tokyo. Could you explain the tax treatment for foreign investors?
(東京で賃貸物件の購入を検討しています。外国人投資家に対する税務上の取り扱いについて説明していただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Agent】:
Certainly. Foreign investors are subject to income tax on rental income, property tax on the property itself, and inheritance tax if applicable. Let me explain each tax in detail so you can understand the total cost.
(承知しました。外国人投資家は賃貸収入に対する所得税、物件自体に対する固定資産税、そして該当する場合は相続税の対象となります。総コストをご理解いただけるよう、各税金について詳しく説明させてください。)
👨💼【Teacher / Overseas Investor】:
What is the income tax rate on rental income? Are there any deductions I can use to reduce the tax burden?
(賃貸収入に対する所得税率はどのくらいですか?税負担を軽減するために使える控除はありますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Agent】:
The income tax rate depends on your total income and ranges from 5 percent to 45 percent. You can deduct expenses such as property management fees, repair costs, and depreciation. I will arrange a meeting with our tax specialist to help you prepare an accurate calculation.
(所得税率は総所得に応じて5パーセントから45パーセントの範囲です。物件管理費、修繕費、減価償却費などの経費を控除できます。正確な計算をお手伝いするため、税務専門家との面談を手配いたします。)

I'm also concerned about property tax and inheritance tax. How much should I expect to pay annually?
(固定資産税と相続税についても心配しています。年間でどのくらい支払う必要がありますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Agent】:
Property tax is approximately 1.4 percent of the assessed value each year. Inheritance tax depends on the property value and your relationship to the heir, but our legal partner can provide detailed guidance. I will share a document that includes estimated tax amounts based on your investment plan.

There are no major legal restrictions on foreign ownership of residential or commercial property in Japan. However, you need to follow the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act and report the purchase to the Bank of Japan within a certain period. I will provide a checklist to make sure you complete all required procedures smoothly.
(日本では住宅用または商業用不動産の外国人所有に大きな法的制限はありません。ただし、外国為替及び外国貿易法に従い、一定期間内に日本銀行へ購入を報告する必要があります。必要な手続きをスムーズに完了できるよう、チェックリストをご提供いたします。)
