[About the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation System]

The Corporate Hometown Tax Donation System, established in fiscal year 2016, is a system that provides tax credits against corporate-related taxes when a company makes a donation to a local government's regional revitalization project that is part of a national government-certified regional regeneration plan.

By utilizing the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation System, local governments can secure funding for regional revitalization projects, and donating companies can contribute to the region while potentially leading to the development of new businesses that leverage regional resources and fostering partnerships with local governments.
