Frequently Asked Questions
The basic deduction is a fixed amount plus an additional amount per legal heir. Currently, it's 30,000,000 JPY + (6,000,000 JPY × Number of Legal Heirs). Tax is only levied on the estate value exceeding this deduction.
A surviving spouse has a significant tax credit, effectively exempting their inherited portion from tax up to their legal share or 160,000,000 JPY (whichever is higher), provided certain conditions are met. This estimator calculates the total estate tax before individual heir considerations and thus doesn't fully apply the spouse credit at an individual level, but it significantly reduces overall tax liability.
No, this tool provides an *estimate* for planning purposes only. Japanese inheritance tax law is complex, with detailed rules on asset valuation, specific deductions, and beneficiary treatments. This tool simplifies many aspects and should not be used as a substitute for professional tax advice.
