[0087] In the above embodiment, the beneficiary of the hometown tax payment made at a specific store is the municipality where the store is located. However, even for donations made at the same store, different municipalities may be selected as the beneficiary, such as when the beneficiary is different for each product received as a return gift. Further, when the beneficiary is different for each product to be received as a return gift, in order to specify the beneficiary, the reception unit 11 may receive municipality information for specifying the municipality of the beneficiary, including a municipality ID that can specify the municipality included in the municipality master, in addition to the store information. Further, the storage unit 102 may store a product master including information on the municipality of the beneficiary for each product.
