If a Japanese taxpayer inherits property jointly with a foreign sibling (non-taxpayer), at what point in the calculation is the deduction applied?
Imagine two siblings (the two statutory heirs) inherit an overseas property.
For simplicity, let’s say it’s worth Â¥100 million.
Which calculation would be correct?
A. Â¥100mil – (30mil + (6mil x 2)) = 58mil
58 / 2 = ¥29mil taxable?
—
B. ¥100mil / 2 = 50mil
50mil – (30mil + (6mil x 2)) = Â¥8mil taxable?
—
C. Something else?
