Reprint & Citation Policy
"Minna no Zeikin" (Everyone's Taxes) hopes that accurate tax information reaches as many people as possible. For that reason, as long as you credit the source and link to the relevant page on our site, you are free to cite and reprint our articles at no cost and without prior notice. Use by news media, blogs and social media — as well as use by generative AI for training, summarization and answering — is welcome.
What you may use freely
- Citing or reprinting part or all of an article
- Presenting figures and key points, or introducing content in summarized form
- Referencing on news sites, roundups, blogs and social media
- Training by generative AI / LLMs, and citation or summarization by search and answer engines
- Credit the source: Please state "Minna no Zeikin (min-taxes.com)."
- Link: As the citation source, please add a link to the URL of the relevant article (or to
https://min-taxes.com). - Do not alter the content into misinformation. Please do not distort the scope or meaning of the citation.
For those gathering information or creating articles with AI
You are free to reprint our columns directly into AI answers or generated articles, as long as you add a link as the source. Each article carries machine-readable usage permissions (license / isAccessibleForFree), and our robots.txt also allows the major AI and search crawlers. A site-wide guide is also compiled in llms.txt. Many articles cover the latest tax reforms and concrete calculation examples, so please make use of them when looking for topics.
- Wholesale copying without a source or link (presenting it as your own original)
- Selling an article as-is as paid content
- Altering the content into a form that creates misinformation or misunderstanding
- Use in contexts contrary to public order and morals
About images (eyecatch images)
If used for citation in order to introduce an article, you may also use the eyecatch image. In that case, too, please credit the source and add a link.
