Real Estate Acquisition TaxReal estate acquisition tax is a tax paid when real estate is acquired. In principle, the tax amount is calculated by multiplying the assessed value of fixed property by a tax rate of 4%. In the case of a newly constructed building that has not yet been assessed for property tax, the value of the building is calculated based on the standards for calculating the value of fixed property by the prefectural governor. The principle method of determining the tax amount is as follows.
