Japan finance minister voices opposition to lowering digital currency tax - CoinGeek
The Japanese finance minister has said he may not be willing to support new legislation which is set to treat digital currency income like stock dividends.
Taro Aso said he would be unwilling to push for taxes on digital currency-related income to be reduced to 20%, citing reasons of a lack of accessibility to digital currency investments for many households in the country.
The remarks came during a meeting of the House of Councillors Committee on Financial Affairs earlier today, in response to a question from a leading member of the Japan Restoration Association.
