According to Japanese income tax law, since OIST is a specified public interest promotion corporation, your donation to OIST is tax deductible.
Upon receiving your donation, we will send two documents: “Receipt” and “Specified Public Interest Promotion Corporation Certificate (copy).” Please retain these two documents for filing your final tax return and claiming deductions.
The formula below shows the amount of your donation that can be deducted from the national income tax:
