Hi all. I have read the wiki page on Furusato Nozei, but the following was not extremely clear to me (it was somewhat clear).
Lets say that my income in year 1 was 1000万, and my income in year 2 was 500万. I will start paying the local taxes on the year 1 income in June of year 2, and I will start paying the local taxes on the year 2 income in June of year 3.
So, what I'm wondering is, is my limit for Furusato purchases made during year 1 based upon my 1000万 of income in year 1, and my limit for Furusato purchases in year 2 based on my 500万 of income in year 2?
The reason that this is a bit confusing to me is that if I have saved up money during year 1 that helps me make additional Furusato purchases in year 2, I have to estimate my lower income and limit during year 2, and make fewer Furusato purchases during year 2 than year 1. Also, during year 2 I am paying relatively high local taxes, but I still have to keep in mind that I have a lower limit in year 2.
This seems correct to me but for some reason it's still counterintuitive.

You are correct. This is why many people will do most of their furusato nozei in December, when they know their full income for the year
