In 2023, the implied tax subsidy rate on R&D expenditures for loss-making large firms in Japan was 0.18. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a gradual increase starting at 0.19 in 2024 and reaching 0.21 by 2028.

Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes influencing R&D tax incentives. Monitoring economic factors affecting firm profitability, and global competitive pressures on R&D investment strategies in Japan will be essential for understanding these subsidy rates' future trajectory.
