In 2023, the R&D tax incentives in Japan stood at a significant level, serving as a crucial support mechanism for innovation. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a progressive increase in indirect government support through R&D tax incentives. Specifically, there is an evident upward trend with annual increments: by 2025, the value rises to 686.24 billion yen, and by 2028, it reaches 790.28 billion yen. This demonstrates a consistent year-on-year growth, reflecting the government's commitment to fostering R&D activities.
