The amount of lost resident tax revenue related to hometown tax donations in Shinagawa Ward has been increasing year by year, exceeding 5 billion yen in fiscal 2024.

Likes 0 Normally, 75% of the loss in revenue would be compensated for by local allocation tax, but since special wards, including Shinagawa Ward, are non-granting bodies, they are unable to receive this compensation and will end up with a net loss in tax revenue. If this situation continues, it could lead to a decline in administrative services. For this reason, special wards, including Shinagawa Ward, are calling on the national government to fundamentally review the hometown tax system. #Shinagawa #Shinagawa #Shinagawa Ward #Hometown Tax #Loss in Income Taxation Division Tel: 03-5742-6662 Shinagawa City Official Instagram "city_shinagawa"
