Preschool & Child Care Center Serving Chikusa-Ku, Nagoya

A tax credit is even more valuable to families than a tax deduction! It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe. Some credits are refundable—reducing taxes otherwise owed to zero and paying a refund.  

Foreign Worker Tax Benefits: 

For non-citizens living and working in Japan, child care tax credits may be available on the income tax you pay to your home country. Ask your accountant or your employer for more information. 

Japanese Tax Benefits: 

Everyone who works in Japan, regardless of whether they are citizens, permanent, or non-permanent residents, must pay income tax. While a tax deduction for children under 16 was removed in 2011, you may be eligible for other benefits or deductions based on the size of your household. Ask your accountant to help you identify your benefits. 

As customers of a privately operated, city-registered care centre (Ninkagai Hoikushisetsu), parents can apply to their local government office or welfare centre for reimbursement. Conditions apply, but families could be eligible to receive up to ¥42,000 for children ages 0-2 and ¥37,000 for children ages 3-5.

More and more employers add child care benefits to their employee compensation packages because it’s hard to do your job without reliable child care! 

Talk with your employer or your HR department about whether they offer child care benefits and how to use them.
