How to donate (English Instruction)

 

Before doing anything, please make sure you visit “English Page -->  Here” and check which “return” you would like to get. Take a note on the number in brackets of your chosen “return”. For example, if you would like to donate 3,000 yen, it is (1).

 

< Those who live outside of Japan who cannot type Japanese hiragana characters>
 Unfortunately, the site only allows you to type your name in hiragana, so you cannot use the system to donate.
If you know Yuko Tsuji or Hisayo Kaya directly, you can message them directly and send the amount to their PayPal account. They will make donation to the system on your behalf.
You will not be eligible to receive tax reduction like Japanese residents.
*please make sure you select Japanese currency (yen) to make payment even though it costs you 3% exchange fees. 

 

 

< Those who live in Japan who cannot type Japanese hiragana characters>
 You will receive residential tax reduction (the amount you donate - 2,000 yen) in 2022 if you are a tax payer in Japan.
For this purpose, if you are directly sending money to Yuko or Hisayo in the same manner as the above, they need to receive following information from you in a private message:
-    Full Name
-    Post code
-    Registered address
-    Phone number
-    If you wish to use “One Stop Special Arrangement” or not
(if you do NOT file tax return at the end of year, you my wish to select YES so the process of your tax reduction will be almost automatic.)
-    Sex
-    Date of birth

 

< Those who live outside of Japan who can type Japanese hiragana characters>
You could send Yuko or Hisayo donation through PayPal like the above, or you could do it yourself, if you can manage your way through Japanese-only pages.

Attention! Upon registration of your personal details, there are some areas you must be aware of. Some mandatory fields may get in a way for you to input your correct information. But this is mostly for tax return, so do not worry about them.
