TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR DONATIONS
To Japanese taxpayers: Your donations to Non-Profit Organization WAFCA are tax deductible. WAFCA was certified by the National Tax Bureau as an authorized NPO in February 2014. Therefore, special measures under the tax regulation can be applied to your donations.
Donations by Individuals
Donations by individuals are regarded as specified donations, which qualify for tax deduction.
Total amount of specified donations in the year - \2,000 = deduction for donation
The total amount of specified donations in the year minus JPY2000 can be deducted from the donator’s total income. However, in case the total amount of specified donations exceeds 40% of total income, the deductible amount will be equivalent to “40% of the total income” minus “JPY2000”.
(Total amount of specified donations in the year - \2,000) * 40% = amount of tax deduction from income taxThe upper limit for tax deduction is equivalent to 25% of income tax.
How to apply for special measures
Please file for income tax return at your local tax office. (Deduction cannot be made by other methods such as year-end adjustments for employees.)
Please attach the receipt issued by JEN when filing for income tax return.
Note
The receipt will basically be addressed to the name you informed us at the time of the donation.
Please be careful to keep the stub of the pay slip/receipt that remains at your side when you arrange a bank transfer for your donations.
Sorry but we do not reissue lost receipts. Please remember to keep them until you file for income tax return.
Donations by Legal Entities
In addition to the deductible limit allowed for general donations, the same amount can be included in deductible expenses. The amount of deductible expenses will include donations to other authorized NPOs and specified public‐service promotion corporations.
