ARMS Accounting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masaaki Ota) responded to consultations as experts (tax accountants) at a tax consultation event for citizens hosted by Sumida Ward.
Sumida Ward regularly holds free tax consultations (Sumida Citizens' Consultation Room) as one of the accessible consultation desks for its residents. This recent consultation event was held at the "Citizens' Consultation Plaza" on the first floor of the Sumida Ward Office. Consultations covering a wide range of tax themes, particularly inheritance, were received, mainly from ward residents.
Main Consultation Themes Received This Time
During this consultation event, inquiries regarding inheritance tax were the most frequent.
Specifically, we provided individual advice on topics such as:
- Judging the basic exemption for inheritance tax and the necessity of filing
- Real estate valuation, such as for a residence, and the applicability of the "Special Provision for Small Residential Land"
- Tax considerations to keep in mind when dividing an estate
- The relationship between inter vivos gifts and inheritance tax (choosing between calendar-year taxation and the taxation system for settlement at the time of inheritance)
- The filing deadline after an inheritance occurs
- Practical confirmation of necessary documents
Background: Growing Interest in Inheritance Tax
In recent years, against the backdrop of rising land prices and an aging population, consultations regarding inheritance from general households have been increasing, with questions like "Will my family be subject to inheritance tax?" and "What preparations should I make while I am still alive?" The inheritance tax system is complex, and it is an area where the final tax burden and the smoothness of procedures can change significantly depending on the judgment of special provision applicability and preparations made during one's lifetime.
Therefore, the need to consult experts "at an early stage" rather than "after encountering trouble" is expected to grow even more in the future.
Representative's Comment
"At this consultation event, we received many inquiries particularly about inheritance tax, and I strongly felt once again that interest in inheritance is steadily spreading in the community. Inheritance tax is an area where understanding the system in advance leads to peace of mind for families. We hope that this consultation will serve as a step toward 'preparedness' for everyone. We will continue to hone our skills as experts so that we can continue to be of service to the people in the community."
