Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main costs when buying property in Japan?
The main costs include real estate agent commission, registration license tax, real estate acquisition tax, stamp duty, and judicial scrivener fees. Annual property taxes and potential capital gains tax (for sellers) are separate.
How is the agent commission calculated?
In Japan, the standard maximum agent commission for properties over ¥4 million is (3% of the property value + ¥60,000) plus 10% consumption tax.
Are there any ways to reduce these costs?
For residential properties, certain exemptions and reduced rates may apply to the Real Estate Acquisition Tax and Registration License Tax, especially for new homes or those meeting specific criteria. Consulting a tax professional is recommended.
