The Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) has decided to reduce the applied administrative expense rates, which are deducted when distributing royalties to authors, composers, publishers and other rights holders, from the 2020-06 distribution period, as in the following table.

Considering recent changes in the collection and distribution structure of royalty fees, JASRAC has been working to change the applied administrative expense rates in line with the actual balance.

For each of the three royalty categories of "Broadcasting, etc.", "Cable broadcasting, etc." and "Interactive transmissions", JASRAC has decided to lower the rate by 0.5% from the current applied rate.

JASRAC will continue its efforts to boost administrative efficiency and reduce expenses in order to ensure that royalties that are paid by music users lead to new creative works by artists.
