Analysis
Japan's MLIT held its seventh expert panel on EBPM for housing tax policy. EBPM—evidence-based policymaking—means using real data to test whether policies work, and this panel examines whether housing-related tax measures are achieving their goals. Housing tax policy, such as mortgage tax breaks, directly affects buying incentives and property-market heat. For Taiwanese readers following Japan's housing market, the direction of tax policy is an important signal for buying costs and market sentiment.
