EC Masters Club Launches Support Campaign for Furusato Tax Providers

As the Furusato Tax market continues to expand, ECX Group, based in Minato, Tokyo, has initiated a new campaign to support local municipalities and the businesses that aid them. This initiative, named the "Furusato Tax Support Campaign," is targeted toward local government support businesses and began on October 3rd, running until October 31st.

The campaign aims to address the numerous challenges faced by these businesses, especially in light of the upcoming changes to the Rakuten Furusato Tax point allocation rules set to take effect in October 2025. Aligned with a growing concern over increasing competition and the unique difficulties that local municipalities encounter, EC Masters Club is providing free access to its services until the end of December 2025 for the first 100 municipalities that sign up.

Why the Campaign?

Local municipalities frequently rely on a handful of dedicated employees to manage their responsibilities effectively. However, this often leads to several pressing issues:

• - Organizational knowledge tends to become concentrated among specific individuals, jeopardizing continuity.
• - Resources are often stretched thin, making it difficult to allocate sufficient time to strategies aimed at increasing donation revenue.
• - Only municipalities with a higher donation volume receive substantial support due to limitations in available resources.

In addition to these existing challenges, the anticipated rule changes will likely exacerbate the competitive landscape, making it harder for municipalities to thrive without adequate support. This is precisely the gap EC Masters Club intends to fill by offering free service access during this campaign.
