Mismatching between Cost and Revenue: On the Deductible Expenses of Real Estate Income
抄録
Can you imagine an income statement from real estate that is scarcely based on so called generally accepted corporate accounting standards, especially on the principle of matching costs with revenues?
To our surprise, it certainly exits here in Japan. This paper tries to untangle this mystery through reviewing the Tax Answer by
the National Tax Agency, laws or ordinances by the National Personnel Authority and Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
When an employee in specific jobsites asks for the title of medical insurance for an employee’s dependent, or condition for alimony as an employee’s dependent, s/he is required to submit the personal financial
statement of all dependents respectively to her/his employer. But most deductible expenses of income tax are excluded in
the title screening process. This screen was built so long ago that it does not have legitimacy any longer nowadays, i.e., the declining birthrate and aging society, diversification of working styles and
family structure, etc. That is the origin of the mystery.
