Delicious tax savings! Let's start hometown tax payment

Hello, this is Sakashita from Beyond.

Have you started paying hometown tax?

Hometown tax payments are gaining more and more attention every year, but do you know what they are?

This time, we will briefly introduce the mechanism and charm of hometown tax payment!

What is hometown tax?

Hometown tax is a “donation” system to local governments

Strictly speaking, hometown tax is not a tax payment, but a ``donation'' to a local government that you want to support.

This is a system that allows you to receive a tax deduction based on your donation.

There are no complicated procedures required, and you can specify how your donations will be used.

Some local governments give special products as ``thank you gifts,'' and you can choose what you want.

It's a very attractive system that many people use every year!

3 attractive points

There are three charms of hometown tax donations!

1. You can receive tax deductions!

The amount you donate is tax deductible, so you only have to pay 2,000 yen.

The remaining donation will be refunded from that year's income tax and deducted from the following year's resident tax.

2. You can receive special local products!

As a thank you for your donation, you will receive local specialties from the local government.

3. You can donate to your favorite local government!

You can choose where to donate and how it will be used, so you can donate to any prefecture, city, town, village, or place you like across the country.

You can contribute to the town where you live or your favorite municipality and cooperate with the development of the region.
