Japan's hometown tax donation program, known as Furusato Nozei, allows taxpayers to support municipalities they care about by making a donation. As people move to large cities like Tokyo, local tax bases in rural towns shrink, so the program was designed to let taxpayers redirect a portion of their taxes to the communities they want to support. In practice, it works through a tax credit system: up to an income based cap, most of the donated amount is credited against the donor's income and resident taxes for the following year. In return, municipalities send donors thank-you gifts, typically local specialty products, so donors can enjoy regional offerings while contributing to local communities.
