What is the Furusato Tax (Furusato Nouzei)?

Furusato Tax is a system that allows you to make a donation (hometown tax payment) to a municipality of your choice.

When you make a donation, the total donation amount exceeding 2,000 yen is in principle deducted from your income tax and municipal tax (there is a maximum limit on the amount that can be deducted).

Income tax is reduced in the year the donation is made.

In the case of residential tax, the residential tax for the year following the year of donation will be reduced.
