Details on Preferential Tax Treatments
Taxation on Contributions
The Independent Administrative Institution National Institutes for Cultural Heritage is a designated public-service promotion corporation. As such, individuals and companies making contributions to National Institutes for Cultural Heritage can receive preferential income and resident tax treatment separate from other general donations. Contributions to Private Donations to National Institutes for Cultural Heritage are eligible for this preferential tax treatment.
*If you pay income tax in Japan and wish to receive a certificate for a tax deduction, please refer to the Inquiries tab to contact us after submitting your donation.
How to Apply for Preferential Tax Treatment
Please submit the Donation Acceptance Certificate or the receipt issued by National Institutes for Cultural Heritage when filing your taxes. These documents are needed to receive preferential tax treatment, so please store them securely.
About Preferential Tax Treatments (Deductions)
Contributions to designated public-service promotion corporations are eligible for the following preferential tax treatment:
Individuals
When an individual makes a donation to a public-service promotion corporation, the amount paid is treated as a "designated donation" and a certain amount is subject to tax deduction following appropriate procedures. This system allows either [the sum of total donations made during the year] or [The amount equal to 40% of total income] (Applied to the lower amount of the two) minus 2000 yen to be deducted from taxes.
Ex)
- If total annual income is 8,000,000 yen:
40% of total annual income = 3,200,000 yen - Tax deducted in this case is calculated as follows:
If total amount of donation is 50,000 yen; (50,000 yen - 2,000 yen = 48,000 yen)
If total amount of donation is 4,000,000 yen; 3,200,000 - 2,000 yen = 3,198,000 yen
Corporations
When a Corporation makes donations to a public-service promotion corporation, the amount paid can be listed separate from standard donations to receive preferential tax deduction. In addition, the revisions to the tax system in 2012 raised the deductible amount limit to allow for a further preferential treatment.
⇒Deductible tax amount = (Capital fund x 0.375% + 6.25% of gross income) x 1/2
