Under the Furusato Nozei (hometown tax) system, taxpayers in Japan are allowed to pay a portion of their national and local income tax and residential tax payments to a specific municipal government. The town of Karuizawa has generously offered to let donors select UWC ISAK Japan as a hometown tax recipient, with 95% of the amount of each donation going to UWC ISAK Japan, and the remaining 5% contributed to local educational activities. Under this system, a donor pays a portion of his or her estimated tax payment to Karuizawa Town in advance. The donor’s income tax and/or residential tax are refunded or reduced by that amount when annual tax payments are calculated. To utilize this system, donors must submit an application to Karuizawa Town in advance; please note that the deadline for applications is Dec. 31 for the fiscal year ending the following March. If you have questions about donating to UWC ISAK Japan through Furusato Nozei please email us: furusato@uwcisak.jp.
