ふるさと納税、初の１兆円超へ　２３年度、利用者１０００万人前後に

　ふるさと納税の２０２３年度の寄付総額が初めて１兆円を超える見通しであることが２５日、分かった。制度を利用して住民税の控除を受けた人も過去最多を更新し、１０００万人前後となる見込み。総務省が自治体別の内訳など詳細を精査し、来週にも公表する。
　ふるさと納税は０８年度に創設。寄付額から２０００円の自己負担を除いた額が住民税などから控除される仕組みだ。１５年度に控除額の上限が引き上げられたほか、自治体が返礼品を充実させたことなどを受け、０８年度に約８１億円だった寄付総額は年々拡大。２２年度は約９６５４億円に上った。（2024/07/25-21:12）

The annual amount of money collected under Japan's "furusato nozei" hometown donation system is believed to have exceeded 1 trillion yen in fiscal 2023 for the first time ever, sources said Thursday.
   The number of people who received residential tax breaks through the system is also believed to have hit a record high of some 10 million.
   The internal affairs ministry will release the results as early as next week after scrutinizing details, including breakdowns by local governments, the sources said.
   Under the system, introduced in fiscal 2008, taxpayers can make donations to local governments of their choice. The amount of the donation minus 2,000 yen is deducted from the donor's residential and other taxes the following year.
   The annual amount of donations made under the system grew from 8.1 billion yen in fiscal 2008 to 965.4 billion yen in fiscal 2022.
