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:
Donation amount during the fiscal year – (minus) 2,000 yen = Amount to be deducted from taxable income (up to 40% of your total income of that fiscal year)
Please check with your municipality to see if your donation to OIST is tax deductible.
If you live in Okinawa, a certain amount of your donation to OIST can be deducted from your prefectural income tax. Please see details here: 寄附金税額控除制度
