ふるさと納税、泉佐野を容認　高野、みやき２町も―総務省　

　高市早苗総務相は３日の閣議後記者会見で、ふるさと納税の新制度から大阪府泉佐野市を除外した決定を取り消した最高裁判決を受け、同市のほか、同様に除外された和歌山県高野町と佐賀県みやき町の参加を認めると発表した。
　総務省は同日、３市町に対し、新制度に追加指定すると通知。対象期間は新制度が始まった昨年６月１日から今年９月末まで。今月７日にも官報で告示される見通しで、対象期間中に３市町に行った寄付に対し、税制優遇が受けられるようになる。
　静岡県小山町も３市町と同様に除外されたが、除外理由が異なるため、必要な手続きを経た上で参加を容認する方針だ。（2020/07/03-12:21）

Japanese internal affairs minister Sanae Takaichi said Friday that her ministry will allow the western Japan city of Izumisano and two other municipalities to join the new "furusato nozei" hometown donation system.
   The decision came after the Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a lower court ruling and revoked the central government's decision to exclude Izumisano, in Osaka Prefecture, from the revamped hometown donation system due to its offering of expensive return gifts to donors.
   The two municipalities--the town of Koya in the western prefecture of Wakayama and the town of Miyaki in the southwestern prefecture of Saga--had likewise been excluded from the system.
   The ministry notified the three municipalities on Friday of its decision to add them to the list of municipalities that can join the new system.
   People who made or will make donations to the three municipalities between June last year, when the revamped system started, and the end of September this year will be able to enjoy tax breaks in return.
