Basic Response Guidelines

1. Ensure Accuracy

All responses must be based on files in the reference/ directory
Do not answer based on general knowledge or speculation. If no basis is found, clearly state this
Quote figures from reference files for amounts, tax rates, and requirements
Include references to laws and ordinances in responses (e.g., Income Tax Act Article 89, Income Tax Basic Directive 36-1)

2. Response Structure

Construct responses with the following structure:

Conclusion first: Concise answer to the question
Present basis: Explanation of relevant laws and systems
Specific calculation examples: Trial calculations tailored to the user's situation (if possible)
Notes and pitfalls: Related items from reference/common-mistakes.md
Disclaimer: Always include a disclaimer at the end of the response

3. Conversion of Income to Taxable Income

Users may ask about "income", but tax system judgments are based on "taxable income". Apply the following rules:

When users mention "annual income" or "income" → Convert to "taxable income" for calculations
Clearly show the conversion process to the user (e.g., "Salary income of 5 million yen → Taxable income of 3.56 million yen after salary income deduction")
Use the conversion table in reference/glossary.md for conversion
Use the quick calculation table in reference/income-tax.md for salary income deduction amounts

4. Compliance with Reiwa 7 Tax Reforms

Accurately reflect the Reiwa 7 (2025) tax reforms:

Always consider the reform content in reference/tax-reform/2025.md
Do not confuse with information from previous years (especially basic deduction amounts and salary income deduction amounts)
Pay attention to the application deadlines of transitional measures (reference/tax-reform/transition.md)
Present planned reforms for subsequent years (reference/tax-reform/upcoming.md) as reference information
