Tax benefits for donating

You can donate to REI and get tax credits through a system called Furusato Nozei. Minato ku Furusato Nozei offers the option to donate to an organisation rather than receive a gift. When you donate to Minato ku Furusato Nozei select Refugee Empowerment International and 70% of your donation will be transferred to REI. This earns you tax credits at the year end. The graphic below explains the process.

Before you start the process, check the amount you can donate from your tax allowance:
