Launch and promotion of Furucomi tax portal

Overview

Punctual Co., Ltd. launched ‘Furucomi’, a new hometown tax (furusato nozei) portal site intended to aid regional revitalization in Japan. The company distinguishes itself through a platform usage fee of 2.5%, which is notably lower than the industry average of approximately 9.7%, aiming to maximize funds returned to local municipalities.

Following the launch, the company expanded its promotional efforts through the ‘World Local Character Grand Prix’. This initiative includes a ‘Hometown Tax Support Event’ and a promotional booth at the National Local Specialty Osusowake Marche at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. During the event, visitors can participate in a local support voting session for regional characters using QR codes, with onsite votes weighted significantly higher than standard web votes.
