Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the Democratic Party for the People (DPP), is running in Japan’s general election for the House of Representatives, scheduled for Oct. 27. He has been vocal about his party’s stance on cryptocurrency taxation and regulatory reform.

Tamaki urged voters to support his party’s proposal to implement a clear tax structure for crypto assets, stating on social media platform X Saturday (translated by Google):

The Democratic Party for the People is proposing clear tax cuts and regulatory reforms for crypto assets. If you think crypto assets should be taxed separately at 20% instead of miscellaneous income, please vote for the Democratic Party for the People.

He emphasized that under this plan, there would be “no tax when exchanging crypto assets with other crypto assets” and encouraged his social media followers to spread the word about these promises.

On Oct. 20, Tamaki reiterated his party’s focus on making Japan a leader in the web3 business sector, noting that they are not considering comprehensive taxation at this time. He remarked: “Comprehensive taxation is something we will consider in the future and is not something we are considering at the moment. Anyway, for now, we want to make Japan a strong nation in the web3 business.”

Tamaki’s website further describes his proposals, stating:

We will review tax systems and regulations regarding cryptocurrencies in order to promote an economy that utilizes non-fungible tokens (NFTs) such as Web 3.0.

Besides proposing a 20% tax on crypto assets with a three-year loss carryover, the website outlines other measures such as increasing trading leverage from 2x to 10x and suggesting the introduction of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The party also seeks to convert the yen into electronic currency and promote the issuance of digital regional currencies by local governments to revitalize local economies. Tamaki’s vision for a crypto-friendly Japan centers on regulatory reforms and economic incentives to strengthen the country’s position in the digital asset sector.
