For salaried employees, Furusato Tax is the easiest way to access tax write-offs. However, failure to complete administrative steps means you lose the deductions. We map out the year-round steps to ensure your tax savings clear successfully.

Annual Schedule for Salaried Workers

Jan - Nov: Calculate Limit & Donate

Estimate your annual income, calculate your ceiling, and donate systematically. Plan around your freezer capacity for food gifts.

Dec: Final Adjustments

Once your tax slip is issued, recalculate your exact ceiling. Clear any remaining allowance with year-end donations.

By Jan 10 (Following Year): File One-Stop Forms

Mail the physical One-Stop forms to the recipient cities, or file them online. This is the single most critical step.

June (Following Year): Verify Your Tax Notification

Inspect the municipal tax notification (住民税決定通知書) issued by your employer. Confirm the deductions are logged under the “Donation Deduction” column.
