Save on Food Expenses and Receive Luxurious Ingredients! A Guide to the Beneficial System of "Furusato Nozei"
2017.11.22 published
Have you already done Furusato Tax Payment?
The system of "Furusato Tax Payment," which reduces next year's resident tax by paying taxes to local governments.*
I love this system because it is incredibly beneficial, but when I talk to people, many seem to have not done it yet.
Questions like, “What is Furusato Tax Payment?” “It sounds complicated!” “I’ve heard it’s beneficial, but how much can I actually save?” arise often.
When it comes to "taxes" and "administration," it seems complicated, but in reality, the process is very straightforward and simple ♩. You can receive luxurious thank-you gifts, making it a remarkably advantageous system♡
This time, I will thoroughly explain about "Furusato Tax Payment," which many think has a high threshold.*
➡ Choose thank-you gifts for Furusato Tax Payment＊
What is Furusato Tax Payment?
Furusato Tax Payment is a system that allows you to choose local governments you want to support across the country to pay taxes.
The amount paid through Furusato Tax Payment can be allocated to the resident tax payment in your current area, and you can receive "thank-you gifts" from the region you contributed to.
In simple terms,
☑ You can choose where to pay taxes.
☑ Instead of receiving welfare or similar benefits in return for your tax, you get tangible items that you can choose yourself.
There is a cap on donations based on your annual income, and up to that limit, you can receive thank-you gifts with only a self-burden of **2,000 yen**.*
➡ Check the cap on donation amounts＊
For example, for A-san with an annual income of 3.05 million yen and working together with their spouse, the cap on donations is **30,352 yen**.
(For simplicity, let's round it to **30,000 yen**.)
If A-san donates up to **30,000 yen** to various municipalities, **28,000 yen** will be deducted from next year's resident tax (from January to December).
☑ Donate **30,000 yen** (receive thank-you gifts)
☑ **28,000 yen** will be deducted from next year's resident tax
➡ You receive **30,000 yen** worth of thank-you gifts with a self-burden of **2,000 yen**.
When making a Furusato Tax Payment, you initially need to pay **30,000 yen**, but because it is deducted from the resident tax you were planning to pay next year,
effectively, you receive thank-you gifts for just **2,000 yen**.
Resident tax is something you are required to pay,
but by making a Furusato Tax Payment, that part is deducted (discounted), reducing the amount you must pay, and you also receive thank-you gifts; it's a win-win situation♡ It's a system where if you don't use it, you will definitely incur a loss.*

How to do Furusato Tax Payment
Here’s how to actually make a Furusato Tax Payment ♩
① First, check the amount you can contribute (donation cap) for Furusato Tax Payment. You only need to enter your income from the previous year and family composition, it's that simple ♩
The previous year’s income is listed on the "Withholding Tax Certificate" you receive from your workplace (should be received around year-end).
➡ Simulate deduction amounts here＊
② Start your application up to the donation cap with a shopping mindset ♩
Don't forget to apply for the "One-Stop Special System" when doing this ◎
The One-Stop Special System allows you to skip the "final tax return" procedure if you only make contributions to up to five municipalities, thus easing the process of receiving deductions on next year’s resident tax.
③ When the Furusato Tax Payment products arrive (it’s okay if they arrive before or after, but don’t forget to do this!), fill out the application form for the One-Stop Special System and send it back.
Some municipalities may mail you the application form separately, but if they don’t, you can download and fill out the application form yourself ♩
The One-Stop Special System has some conditions, so check in advance if you are eligible ◎
➡ Download the application form and learn more about the One-Stop System here＊
You can also do Furusato Tax Payment through Rakuten!
Although it’s standard to make Furusato Tax Payments through specialized websites, you can actually do it through "Rakuten" too ♩
Furusato Tax Payment is already a beneficial system, so getting additional Rakuten points is a delightful bonus＊
Moreover, as expected from Rakuten ♡, the wide variety of available products is appealing too ◎
Recently, I applied for a **10,000 yen** dried fish set from Yuasa Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
I'm not very good at cooking and rarely eat fish at home, but dried fish is easy to prepare, just heat it up, and it's so delicious ♩
➡ You can get the dried fish set here ♩
In addition, I've stocked up on a large quantity of pork and beef in my freezer ♩. It contributes to daily meal cost savings and enjoying luxurious meat like Matsusaka beef, which I usually don’t buy, makes for a happy time ♡
➡ Check out meat for Furusato Tax Payment here＊
Other than that, from rice, beer, vegetables, fruits, noodles, and items useful for daily meals,
to interior and kitchen goods,
there are also certificates for using hot springs, hotels, and restaurants,
and even Furusato Tax Payments that allow you to undergo a health checkup!
With the self-burden of 2,000 yen up to the capped amount based on your income, you can get a variety of items, so it's truly a loss if you don't participate!
