Advance Payment of Ordinary Allocation Tax for Typhoon No.24 and Heavy Rain in 2026

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications decided to provide part of the ordinary allocation tax earlier than planned to local governments damaged by Typhoon No.24 and the heavy rain front in 2026. This measure aims to support quick recovery in affected areas. Foreign residents living in Japan who are in affected communities should pay attention to changes in local support and living conditions. There is no special application needed for this advance payment. For more information, please check the official announcements from the ministry or your local government.
