Those who experience a shortfall in the initial adjustment benefit amount paid in fiscal year Reiwa 6 (Shortfall Benefit (1))

Eligible Individuals

As of January 1, 2025, for those registered as residents in Inagi City, since the results of Income Tax and fixed amount tax reduction for the 2024 fiscal year have been finalized, those who have a difference between the required amount to be originally provided and the initial adjustment benefit

 

For example, the following types of people may be applicable.

1. Due to a decrease in income in Fiscal Year 2024 compared to income in Fiscal Year 2023, "Estimated Income Tax Amount for Fiscal Year 2024 (Fiscal Year 2023 Income)" > "Income Tax Amount for Fiscal Year 2024 (Fiscal Year 2024 Income)" applies to those individuals.

2. Due to the birth of a child or other reasons, if the number of dependents increased during Reiwa 6, and "Amount of Fixed Income Tax Reduction Possible (At Initial Benefit)" < "Amount of Fixed Income Tax Reduction Possible (At Deficiency Payment)" applies

3. Due to a tax amount correction after the initial adjustment benefit, the Income Tax portion of the Tokyo Metropolitan Resident Tax for fiscal year Reiwa 6 has decreased, and instead of handling each case individually, a uniform response will be made at the time of the shortfall benefit payment.

Note: Individuals with a total income amount exceeding 18.05 million yen are not eligible.

 

Amount Granted

The above difference amount (rounded up to the nearest 10,000 yen) will be additionally paid to the eligible individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

I moved to Inagi City and registered as a resident in April of Reiwa 7. Will the shortfall benefit be provided by Inagi City?

There is no payment of the shortfall benefit from Inagi City.

The municipality where you are registered as a resident as of January 1, 2025, will calculate the shortfall benefit, so please contact them.

Is it possible to receive the shortfall payment even if you did not receive the adjustment benefit (initial adjustment benefit) paid in Reiwa 6?

If you meet the eligibility requirements for the shortfall benefit, you can receive the shortfall benefit even if you were initially excluded from the benefit and did not receive the initial adjustment benefit.

However, if you were eligible to receive the adjustment benefit but did not receive it, the amount you can receive this time is limited to the shortfall benefit payment only, and you cannot receive the initial adjustment benefit in addition.

A dependent relative passed away during the year 2024. Will the benefit amount change?

If you were financially supporting the person at the time of their death, the benefit amount will not change.

A child was born in the year Reiwa 7, and the number of dependents has increased. Can I receive the shortfall benefit?

You will not be eligible for the shortfall benefit. For the calculation of Income Tax in 2025, the dependent status as of December 31, 2024, will be referenced; therefore, even if the number of dependents increases during 2025, it will not affect the shortfall benefit.

I have a physical disability and cannot personally sign the confirmation or application form. What should I do?

If it is difficult for the individual to return the confirmation document or submit the Application Form, it is also possible for a representative to do so.

Proxy applications are possible by household members of the applicant's household, legal representatives, relatives, or others who usually take care of the recipient themselves, and persons specially recognized by the mayor.

In the case of a confirmation letter, please fill in the proxy information in the delegation section on the back and attach the necessary documents. In the case of an Application Form, please submit copies of identification documents of the recipient and the proxy.

Note: If for any reason you absolutely wish to transfer to an account other than the designated recipient's, please consult with us.

When will the payment be made?

For those who have received the "Payment Notice (Payment Notification)"

Note: If you change the transfer account, the benefit payment will be transferred in approximately 1.5 months after receiving the complete documents.

 

For those who have received the "Payment Confirmation Letter"

For Online Applications
