Q7 What is Hyokagaku or the appraised amount? (Is it different from the acquired amount?)
A8 Appraised amount of any real estate property is equivalent to the one used to calculate your Kotei Shisan Zei or the Fixed Asset Tax imposed by your city/town/village. Real Estate Acquisition Tax is calculated based on the acquired amount. Therefore, the amount of the appraised amount used to calculate your Real Estate Acquisition Tax may be different from the one used to calculate your fixed asset tax as of January 1 may be different.
Real Estate Acquisition Tax is imposed on all acquisition transactions. (In other words, you will be taxed even if you acquired a piece of land by trading it for free.) For transactions of land an acquisition with no money is involved, the Real Estate Acquisition Tax amount will be calculated based on the appraised value of the land.
