The current inheritance and gift tax rules are a disincentive for foreign national from moving to live and work in Japan

Amendments made to the Japanese inheritance and gift tax rules in 2013 have had a significant effect on the attractiveness of Japan as a place for foreigners to come and live and work. These changes appear to be out of step with the current visa initiatives to encourage highly-skilled foreign workers to come to Japan and also appear out of line with the efforts to promote Tokyo as a financial centre.

IBA Japan has produced a leaflet which sets out scenarios to explain the impact of the rules.
