“Laporte Hall”, located on the 3rd floor of the main building of “Laporte,” the shopping mall directly connected to JR Ashiya Station, has started accepting visitors as a tax return preparation and consultation venue.

↑ A notice was also posted on the deck in front of JR Ashiya Station.
From February 4 to 15, the venue is for pension income earners, salaried employees, small business owners, and those who need to file consumption tax returns (excluding declarations for real estate or stock transfers and gift tax). From the 16th onward, it appears to be open to everyone filing a tax return.
Please note that entry to the tax return venue requires an “entry ticket”, which is either distributed at each venue on the day or issued in advance through the National Tax Agency’s official LINE account.

The address is 4-1-305 Funadocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture (3rd floor of the Laporte main building).
With more ways of working becoming available, as well as things like medical expense deductions and “furusato nozei” hometown tax donations, it seems like more people are filing tax returns these days. If you’re filing for the first time or doing it again after a long while and feel unsure, it may be a good idea to visit Laporte Hall for a consultation.
