**Overview of the Bold Investment Promotion Tax System**
The "Bold Investment Promotion Tax System" was established in the FY2026 tax reform to realize a "strong economy," and is a tax measure to encourage large-scale, high-value-added domestic capital investment by companies. Under this system, companies can choose to apply either immediate depreciation or a tax credit (up to 7%, 4% for buildings, etc.) for equipment investments confirmed by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, contributing to reducing corporate financial burden and improving cash flow.
In addition, equipment that begins operation within five years of confirmation is also eligible, making the system flexible enough to accommodate long-term large-scale investments. Through this system, it is expected to promote corporate productivity improvement and value creation, and realize a virtuous cycle of wage increases and expansion of domestic investment.
**Background of the Inquiry Desk Establishment**
Stayway has been supporting companies with subsidy applications for capital investment through "Subsidy Cloud." As of April 2026, the cumulative amount of support has exceeded 336 billion yen, demonstrating a track record of supporting the growth investments of many companies.
In particular, the company has a high adoption rate for the highly anticipated "Large-Scale Growth Investment Subsidy" and "SME Growth Acceleration Subsidy." For the Large-Scale Growth Investment Subsidy (1st to 4th public offerings), our adoption rate was 57.4% (62 adopted cases / 108 applications), significantly exceeding the national average of 23.1%. For the SME Growth Acceleration Subsidy (1st public offering), our adoption rate was 40.0% (14 adopted cases / 35 applications), also exceeding the national average of 16.6%.
On April 7, 2026, the FY2026 budget, which advocates "responsible proactive fiscal policy," was passed, and the budget for subsidies supporting growth investments was finalized. In response, there is a rapidly increasing need for complex utilization of "subsidies × tax incentives (tax reduction)" in corporate capital investment, combining direct funding through subsidies with preferential tax systems such as the "Bold Investment Promotion Tax System."
Against this background, Subsidy Cloud has established an inquiry desk for this tax system, strengthening its system to support corporate investment decisions from both subsidy and tax perspectives. We provide consistent support from examining the applicability of various preferential measures, including this tax system, to assisting with their utilization.
