The donated amount (limited to an amount equivalent to no more than 40 percent of gross income) less \2,000 will be deducted from gross income.

For donors residing in Kyoto Prefecture, the City of Kyoto, Osaka Prefecture, or Shiga Prefecture, the donated amount (limited to an amount equivalent to up to 30 percent of gross income) is tax-deductible.
For the prefectural and municipal inhabitant taxes, the deductions are calculated by multiplying the donated amount (less \2,000) by a tax rate of 4 percent and 6 percent, respectively.

Please file your tax return with the "receipt for donation" issued by Kyoto University attached.
For the deduction only from your inhabitant tax, please file a statement with your local municipality.

The donated amount can be written off in full as a loss.
