Osaka Izumisano “Hometown Tax Payment System Litigation” Tomorrow Supreme Court Decision June 29, 12:41

On the 30th, the Supreme Court sentenced the verdict in a case where Osaka Izumisano City, which was excluded from the system for giving excessive gifts for hometown tax payment, is suing the country. Attention will be paid to what kind of judgment the Supreme Court will make regarding the conflict between Izumisano City and the country, which has deepened over the system.

When the law was revised in response to the overheating of oldness and tax return gifts competition, and a new system was introduced in June of last year, four municipalities including Osaka Izumisano City donated excessive gifts and made large donations. It was excluded from the system as it was collecting.

Izumisano City has filed a lawsuit against the national government for revocation, saying that the exclusion is illegal, but it was rejected by the Osaka High Court and appealed.

In the court case, the main issue is that we excluded from the system because of how to collect donations before the law was revised and whether the notification showing the standard was illegal.

While the Izumisano city claimed that it was illegal to impose a disadvantage after the revision due to the abuse of discretionary powers because of the lawful collection method before the law was revised, the state said In order to ensure that the past collection method should be included in the examination criteria.”

The Supreme Court's 3rd Small Court has heard the opinions of both parties this month by opening the necessary arguments when changing its judgment, and the high court's decision refusing the Izumisano's appeal may be reviewed.

The ruling is scheduled to be handed down at 3:00 pm on the 30th, and attention will be paid to what kind of judgment the Supreme Court will make regarding the conflict between Izumisano City and the country that has deepened over the system.
