Japan's MOF has published the FY2026 edition, official article-by-article commentary spanning income, corporate, consumption and asset taxes. Anyone with rental income, company profits, dividends or property deals in Japan should check this year's rules against last year's assumptions and, where needed, consult a licensed tax accountant.
