Key Topics Covered

This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of tax incentives and subsidies available for energy generation and storage systems, with an emphasis on:
1. New Energy Tax Regulations: Detailed insights into the 2026 tax reform, focusing on the Specific Productivity Enhancement Equipment Investment Promotion Tax System, which encourages bold capital investments in energy systems.
2. Subsidy Programs: An explanation of various subsidy programs available for energy generation and storage, especially those localized in the Kanto region, including municipal subsidies.
3. Q&A Session: An interactive segment where participants can ask questions and exchange business cards.

Importance of the Tax Reform

The Specific Productivity Enhancement Equipment Investment Promotion Tax System was proposed as part of the broader measures aimed at enhancing industrial competitiveness. Significant investments of over 3.5 billion yen for large enterprises and 500 million yen for small to medium enterprises are required, but this plan covers all sectors, paving the way for large-scale energy projects such as solar power plants and storage batteries.

The legal basis for these regulations comes from the amended Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act, which was enacted on May 29, 2026, and is anticipated to be implemented by September 2026. Detailed guidelines regarding applications are expected to be released shortly.
