About inheritance tax in Japan

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Unipres stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Unipres (5949) shares directly through Paasa. Unipres is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in the Auto - Parts industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Unipres share?

Usually more than one, and not a fraction: the Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares. At ¥1,342.00 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.

How are Unipres dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Unipres’ current yield is 4.47%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Unipres shares?

Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the JPY/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.

What happens to my Unipres shares if I pass away?

Japan levies inheritance tax on Japan-located assets such as direct stocks, with an exemption of ¥30 million plus ¥6 million per statutory heir. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at Unipres alone.
