Based on PANews, Japan's National Tax Agency reported that its 2024 fiscal year (July 2024–June 2025) crypto tax investigations recovered ¥4.6 billion in unpaid taxes, a 31.4% increase from ¥3.5 billion in the previous year. The agency conducted 613 on-site inspections, up 14.6% year-on-year. It emphasized that crypto cases involved significantly higher single-case tax recovery and unreported income compared to average income tax inspections. Current priorities include verifying profit calculations, transaction record completeness, and proper reporting of DeFi, airdrops, mining, and staking. If multiple domestic and foreign exchanges are involved, all gains and losses must be consolidated for reporting to avoid being deemed as omissions.
