Housing Taxes: Registration and License Tax

Read Now
 

Registration and License Tax

Registration and license tax is a tax imposed when registering land, buildings, etc. For ownership registration, the tax amount is calculated by multiplying the assessed taxable value of the property by the designated tax rate. The amount of tax for mortgage registrations is calculated by multiplying the amount of the claim (the amount of the mortgage or other loans) by the designated tax rate. ​Tax payment is to be made when applying for registration. If the building is newly constructed and does not yet have a property tax assessment, the assessed value is calculated based on the New Building Value Approval Standard Table by the Legal Affairs Bureau.
Picture
  • Tax amount (for land and buildings) = assessed taxable value of fixed property (tax base*) x designated tax rate
  • Tax amount (for mortgages) = amount of claim (tax base*) x designated tax rate
​*The tax base is the amount or quantity directly subject to tax calculation.
Special Tax Rate Reductions for Housing
In the case of the registration of a house with a floor area of 50㎡ or more, the reduced registration and license tax rate will be applied if the house is certified by the mayor of the municipality where the house is located as meeting the requirements in the table below.
Further special measures are available for Certified Long-term Quality Housing*1 and Certified Low Carbon Housing*2.
*1 Long-term quality housing certified under the provisions of the Act on Promoting the Development of Long-Term Quality Housing, hereinafter referred to as "Certified Long-Term Quality Housing.
