Japan's virtual currency tax policy

1. According to the official reply of the State Administration of Taxation on the issue of indivial income tax on the income of indivials from buying and selling virtual currency through the Internet (GSH [2008] No. 818), the income obtained by indivials from purchasing players' virtual currency through the Internet and selling it to others after price increase belongs to the taxable income of indivial income tax, The indivial income tax shall be calculated and paid according to the item of "income from property transfer". The original value of an indivial's property in selling virtual currency is the price and related taxes paid for his purchase of network virtual currency. If an indivial is unable to provide evidence of the original value of his property, the original value of his property shall be verified by the competent tax authorities.

Japan is also the first country in the world to legislate on virtual currency. Just in April last year, Japan's "change of capital payment law" was formally established. Virtual currency is defined as having the function of currency and can be used for monetary payment. Moreover, some time ago, the tycoons of the domestic currency circle also went to Japan one after another to learn from Japan

Finally, the popularity of virtual currency in Japan is also the intentional guidance of the Japanese government. The emergence of virtual currency gives the Japanese government a new "future". The Japanese government hopes to establish a monetary system independent of the U.S. regulation through virtual currency, so as to revive its so-called great power status

however, we should also see that Japan's too loose virtual monetary environment has also led to many negative problems. For example, the frequent theft of virtual currency makes the Japanese government have to intervene in the asset security of the virtual currency market. As a result, Japan has strengthened the supervision of virtual currency, and the virtual currency market has become a bit quiet - exchanges such as hotcoin and BIGone have even given up Japanese language services

3. The State Administration of Taxation emphasizes that the original value of an indivial's property in selling virtual currency, the price paid for his purchase of network virtual currency and related taxes. If an indivial is unable to provide evidence of the original value of his property, the original value of his property shall be verified by the competent tax authorities

according to the relevant sources of Beijing Local Taxation Bureau, the tax rate of indivial income tax calculated according to the "income from property transfer" project is fixed at 20%, and Beijing Local Taxation Bureau will also introce relevant measures to verify the original value of virtual currency property sold by indivials

about virtual currency:

virtual currency refers to the substitute currency circulating in the network virtual world. In addition to the virtual currencies issued by major online game companies with various names, Tencent Q currency is also widely used

at present, the online transaction in the virtual world has greatly exceeded people's imagination, and has formed a huge online transaction market of proction, supply and marketing. Moreover, a group of professional workers specialized in "coin printing" came into being; There are also special exchange shops for various game currencies.

4. Now the virtual RMB has also been issued, and the state's policy on virtual currency must strengthen supervision. In this case, we can agree.

5. Commonly used are the United States MSB, Estonia, Canada MSB, Australia austrac, which belong to the second category of high cost performance, Bermuda license is not clear, sorry.

6. This is certainly unreasonable. Virtual currency generally does not need to pay tax. If you pay this tax, it is not equal to your original value. It will be very expensive and not cost-effective

7. 1、 "The game's internal equipment enhancement system, proction system and enchantment system are all probabilistic. Are they illegal?" I can tell you clearly that it's not illegal< Second, Article 20 of the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency in online games stipulates that "online game operators shall not distribute game props or virtual currency by random means such as drawing lots, betting or random drawing on the premise that users directly invest cash or virtual currency." The purpose of this article is to strengthen market supervision and crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as gambling with virtual currency< Third, your understanding of this article is wrong. 1. The accidental acquisition of equipment and attributes in the game is not necessarily caused by direct investment of cash or virtual currency; 2. Although the acquisition of some attributes in the game is accidental, it is not necessarily through "lottery, bet, random extraction and other accidental distribution"; 3. Only through direct investment of cash or virtual currency, and through drawing lots, betting, immediate drawing and other means of distribution, is the prohibited act stipulated in Article 20.

8. Really? But it's basically the smallest denomination. It's equivalent to 50 yuan.
