Inheritance Tax Filing Statistics for Reiwa 6 Released

The National Tax Agency of Japan released its annual inheritance tax (sozokuzei) filing statistics for the 2024 tax year (Reiwa 6), published in December 2025. The release is informational, presenting compiled filing data and associated statistical tables in PDF format. The document contains no new regulatory obligations, compliance deadlines, or enforcement actions — it is a retrospective statistical summary.

Affected parties include Japanese taxpayers who filed inheritance tax returns for the 2024 tax year, as well as tax practitioners and legal professionals who rely on NTA statistical data for advisory purposes. The figures may inform estate planning and compliance strategies, but the document itself imposes no new duties. Tax professionals and financial advisers active in Japanese estate matters should review the PDF attachment for the compiled data.
