About this page

This page explains the philosophy and significance of Furusato Nōzei (hometown tax donation). It enables people who grew up in rural areas but now live in cities to contribute to their hometowns through taxation. The system has three major purposes: first, allowing taxpayers to choose their donation destination, increasing tax awareness; second, supporting hometowns and communities they wish to help; third, promoting competition among municipalities to appeal to taxpayers. Additionally, it builds a relationship where local governments and taxpayers mutually enhance their growth, ultimately transforming regions through individual contributions.
