Japan’s Upper House of parliament (House of Councilors-Diet) approved the new income tax treaty with Armenia on 23 April 2025.
This new agreement replaced the 1986 tax treaty between Japan and the former Soviet Union. This treaty aims to eliminate double taxation with respect to taxes on income and prevent tax evasion and avoidance between the two countries.
Earlier, Japan’s lower house of parliament ( House of Representatives) approved the new income tax agreement with Armenia on 10 April 2025.
