  In Japan, earnings from cryptocurrency trading are subject to income tax. The tax treatment depends on whether the trading is classified as business income or miscellaneous income. If the trading is considered as a business, it will be taxed as ordinary income and subject to progressive tax rates. On the other hand, if the trading is classified as miscellaneous income, it will be subject to a flat tax rate of 20%. It's important to keep detailed records of all cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes. Consult a tax professional or the Japan National Tax Agency for specific guidance on reporting cryptocurrency earnings.
