Aoyama Zaisan Networks revises 2026 business plan due to tax reform

Aoyama Zaisan Networks announced revisions to its 2026 business plan, originally part of its 2025-2027 medium-term management plan, following the 2026 tax reform outline published on December 19, 2025. The reform primarily impacts the valuation method for real estate for lending, including small-lot real estate products like the Advantage Club. For assets acquired within five years of inheritance or gift, the valuation method will shift from inheritance tax valuation to a value based on the ordinary transaction price.

The company expects the reform to affect the Advantage Club's formation amount, which was initially projected to increase by 10% annually, and the revised formation amount is under review. However, the consulting division has seen increased revenue due to a rise in client numbers and higher contract values. The company anticipates operating profit for the fiscal year ending December 2026 to exceed that of the fiscal year ending December 2025.

The tax reform's changes will be applied to asset valuations for inheritances and gifts made on or after January 1, 2027. Details of the reform are expected around the autumn of 2026. Aoyama Zaisan Networks plans to continue offering the Advantage Club and will resume sales for its Akasaka-Mitsuke station-front Advantage Club once the valuation method becomes clear.
