FAQ
Tax on foreigners?
If the deceased or heir is a Japanese resident, worldwide assets are taxed. Non-resident heirs of non-residents are taxed only on Japan-located assets.
Spouse can avoid most tax?
Yes — spouse exemption is the larger of ¥160M or 1/2 of statutory share. Often results in zero tax for spouse.
