What is NISA ?


Have you ever been heard the word NISA ?

What does NISA stand for ?

NISA stands for Nippon Individual Savings Account.



NISA is Japanese tax-exempt system which is introduced with reference to ISA, tax-exempt system for a small investment of Britain.

NISA was launched Jan. this year.

Usually, about 20-percent tax will be applied on Profits and Dividend from shares and investment trusts.
But If we use NISA,  About 20-percent tax exempted.
In other words, TAX-FREE.



I will explain four points about NISA.


1. SUBJECT
Subject to NISA are Profits and Dividend from shares and investment trusts.

2. Investment
The amount of Investment is up to 1 million yen a year.

3. Period 
The period during which the investment can be managed tax-free is for a maximum of 5 years.

4. Total Investment
If the investment up to the amount of the limit is made every year, a maximum of 5 million yen non-taxable investment will be made.



For example.
I bought JPY 1,000,000 worth of shares of MAZDA.
After that, my shares of MAZDA become worth JPY 1,100,000.
If I sell them, my profit is JPY 100,000.
And a 20-percent tax is applied on this profit.
After all, I must pay tax JPY 20,000.
But, NISA is TAX-free in this case.


If I invest up to the amount of the limit every year, 
In 2014, non-taxable investment is JPY 1 million.
In 2015, non-taxable investment is JPY 2 million.
In 2016, JPY 3 million.
In 2017, JPY 4 million.
In 2018, JPY 5 million.
A maximum of JPY 5 million non-taxable investment will be made.
