Real estate acquisition tax

Japanese: 不動産取得税 - ふどうさんしゅとくぜい
Real estate acquisition tax

A prefectural tax levied when ownership of land or a building is transferred, or when such rights are acquired initially. Some consider this tax to be a partial advance on the fixed asset tax (municipal tax). It is generally considered that real estate has a large tax-bearing capacity when it is acquired, and it is more appropriate to impose a lump sum on it at that time than to raise the fixed asset tax accordingly. The acquisition of real estate is the transfer of ownership of real estate, regardless of whether it is for a fee or free of charge, or whether it is acquired by sale, exchange, gift, etc. The taxpayer is the acquirer of the real estate, and the tax base is the price of the real estate at the time of acquisition (however, certain deductions and exemptions are provided), and the standard tax rate is 4%.

Japanese:

道府県税の一つで、土地または家屋の所有権が移転する場合、またはこのような権利を原始取得した場合に課する税。この税は固定資産税(市町村税)の一部先取りであるとする考え方もある。通常、不動産の取得時には大きな担税力があるとされ、その時点で一部まとめて負担させるのが、その分だけ固定資産税を引き上げて徴収するよりも適切であるとする考えに基づくものである。不動産の取得とは、不動産の所有権の移転であって、それが有償であると無償であると、またはその取得原因が売買、交換、贈与などによろうと関係がない。納税義務者は不動産の取得者であり、課税標準は不動産取得時の不動産の価格(ただし一定の控除や免税点が設けられている)、標準税率は4%である。
