Tax Benefits for Donations (Income Tax Deduction / Tax Credit)

Donations to ARI (Asian Rural Institute) are eligible for preferential tax treatment for income tax, corporate tax, and inheritance tax through tax filing procedures (i.e., a portion of your taxes may be refunded).

*Asian Rural Institute has been certified by the National Tax Agency as a “Designated Public Interest Promotion Corporation” since September 1, 2005.

Donations by Individuals

Following the tax reform in 2011, donors can choose whichever is more advantageous for income tax purposes:
1) Income Deduction or 2) Tax Credit.

● Income Deduction (reduces taxable income)

The amount of “total donations minus ¥2,000” is deducted from your total income, and the remaining amount is subject to taxation.
The maximum eligible donation amount is 40% of total income.

● Tax Credit (directly reduces tax amount)

“(Total donations − ¥2,000) × 40%” is directly deducted from the amount of income tax.
The maximum eligible donation amount is 40% of total income.
The maximum tax credit is 25% of the total income tax amount.

Please note that which option is more advantageous depends on factors such as employment status, family structure, and housing conditions. For details, please refer to the National Tax Agency website.

Required Procedures

  1. Please file a final tax return at your local tax office. When doing so, attach the receipt issued by ARI (the reverse side of the receipt postcard serves as the certificate of a Designated Public Interest Promotion Corporation).
  2. The standard tax filing period is from February 16 to March 15 each year.

Notes

  • The name on the receipt will generally be the name provided at the time of donation.
  • Receipts cannot be reissued in case of loss. Please keep them in a safe place until filing.
  • If you make a donation jointly (e.g., as a couple or family), please specify the name of the representative to be listed on the receipt.
  • Receipts cannot be reissued in case of loss. Please keep them in a safe place until filing your tax return.

Donations by Corporations

Donations from corporations can be treated as deductible expenses, separately from the general limit on deductible donations, when combined with donations to other certified NPOs and designated public interest promotion corporations.

(Capital amount × 0.25% + Income amount × 5%) ÷ 2

Notes

  • The name on the receipt will generally be the name provided at the time of donation.
  • Receipts cannot be reissued in case of loss. Please keep them in a safe place until filing.
