  The Japanese gift tax is applicable to digital assets like cryptocurrencies. When gifting digital assets, the value of the assets at the time of the gift is subject to taxation. The tax rate varies depending on the relationship between the donor and the recipient. For example, gifts between spouses are generally exempt from gift tax, while gifts to non-relatives may be subject to higher tax rates. It's important to consult with a tax professional or the Japan National Tax Agency for specific guidance on how to properly report and pay gift tax on digital assets in Japan.
