What you want to do by the end of the year ... it's your hometown tax payment! Today, Nyan, who will tell you the points from Kanako Iida of Trust Bank Public Relations, which runs the hometown tax payment information site, "Furusato Choice"! Iida (hereinafter referred to as rice) from the new colon virus of Coronavirus, and from the aspect of nesting demand and support consumption for producers, the hometown tax payment amount in 2020 was about 672.5 billion yen. The attention is increasing. Have you ever had "hometown tax payment"? I'm actually inexperienced Nyan ... Rice "Hometown Tax Payment" is a system that allows you to donate to local governments you want to support. The upper limit is fixed, but you can get a tax deduction as you donate. It is also attractive that you can receive "return goods" from the local government for 2,000 yen for the self -pay. There is also an advantage that you can choose the use of donations in local governments. How do you know the maximum amount of deduction deduction? The upper limit is different depending on the annual income and family structure, but you can simulate on a portal site like your hometown choice. For example, if you are a single income of 3 million yen, it costs about 28,000 yen per year. However, in order to estimate based on the expected annual income of this year, if the annual income is smaller than expected at the end of the year, the actual upper limit will decrease. If you donate more than the upper limit, all exceeded amounts will be paid by yourself.

Recently, there is also a support project for producers and businesses who suffer from corona evil. If you search for keywords such as "translation", you can find a great return item. Personally, I often choose daily necessities such as kitchen knives and vessels where craftsmanship shines. In addition, experience types such as work and activities are increasing, and there are also changing cracks like "Camping Saunabus 24 Hours Ticket" (Hokkaido, Toma Town). It's a good idea. Nya is not just a "thing". One hand is to choose a donation destination from the rice use.

To receive deductions such as resident tax, you will file a final tax return, or if there are less than 5 local governments donated in January to December, there is also a "one -stop special system" that does not require a final tax return. You can use it. However, every time the donation is donated, the special application form for donation tax deduction must be mailed to the local government by the due date ( * 1). * 1 The application form is a must -have local government on January 10 of the year after donating, so be careful when applying at the end of the year, even if you are a company employee who donated to 6 local governments or more, people who receive medical expenses and mortgage deductions. I have to file a final tax return. troublesome…. In fact, the procedure is easier from the 21 -year tax return.
