We just got contacted by the tax office, and they requested our Furusato receipts from last year. They said it was a "random" audit. That is all they requested, and since we are pretty confident we followed the rules we should be fine.

So, be sure to keep those receipts, even after submission! It can be a bit tricky, as when we donate/order something sometimes the order comes before the receipt, leading us to forget to watch out for it.

EDIT: We got our paperwork back from the tax office, all "OK" and no further docs required. Took about a month.

Did you have to submit the original paper receipts ? Would a PDF (or a reprint from a scan) be acceptable ?
I scanned mines to PDF and discarded the originals ...

I had the originals, but my guess is you should be fine. They are moving to a statement-based system anyway, from what I remember reading last year. https://www.furusato-tax.jp/feature/a/2 ... p_top-info
