Description
This study makes available to English-speakers a comprehensive description and critique of the Japanese tax system. Periods of war, post-war reconstruction, rapid economic development and moderated economic growth, have seen Japan's tax system undergo significant changes which make it a notably rich ground for in-depth study. This edition has been fully revised and updated, and contains three new chapters to incorporate the tax reforms of the early 1990s. Changes to consumption tax and to land tax are considered in detail to understand the recent development of the tax system. The comparative tables have been updated and equations recalculated, using extensive statistical data not publicly available. The book traces the development of the Japanese tax system from pre-World War II years to the present day.
