The medical expenses Notification can be used to declare the medical expenses deduction. The medical expenses Notification can be used as attached documents in the "medical expenses Deduction Statement" (from 2018). However, if there are any items that are not listed in the medical expenses notice or the names of medical institutions other than Kanagawa and Tokyo are not printed, it is necessary to prepare a “medical expenses Deduction Statement” based on a separate receipt and attach the statement to the declaration form. (In this case, the receipt of medical expenses must be kept for 5 years from the deadline for final tax return etc.)
In addition, the amount of self-pay equivalent described in the notification may differ from the amount of the receipt, but it may be calculated based on the amount stated in the notification.
For more information about the medical expenses deduction, please contact your local tax office.

For reissuance of the medical expenses notice, please contact the Kanagawa Prefecture Senior Citizens' Medical Association (representative number: 045-440-6700).

The self-medication tax system (exception of the medical expenses deduction) allows individuals who take “certain measures” to maintain and improve health and prevent illness from January 1, 2017 to receive an income deduction for the purchase cost of OTC drugs.
For more information about self-medication taxation, please contact the tax office in charge of your area.
