[Transformation] “Consumption tax reduction bill” to return tax rate to 8% Opposition party, proposal to be presented at the extraordinary Diet session in autumn

While the consumption tax rate will be raised to 10% in October, the idea of ​​submitting a “tax reduction bill” to the temporary parliament in autumn has been raised within the opposition party. It seems that he is conscious of the breakthrough of the Reise Shinsengumi who appealed for “abolition of the consumption tax” in the upper house election in July. Tax cuts may be the axis of opposition, including Reiwa, but the “transitions” of the constitutional democratic and national democratic parties that lead the flow of the former Democratic Party that led the tax increase are likely to attract criticism. “Because it has risen, it is also a proposal to reduce the tax rate to 8% this time, to reduce the multiple tax rates, and to consider submitting a“ consumption tax review bill ”” National Democratic Party representative Yuichiro Tamaki announced to the reporters on August 30th. He said, “Opposition parties must work together,” and expressed his expectations for the joint proposal at the extraordinary Diet session in autumn. Yukio Edano, a representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, is also willing to cut taxes, saying, “At least we must first rush to return to 8%” (the Japanese radio program on August 28). As for the reduction below 8%, it is said that “it will be judged while observing the impact on the economy and households” (press conference on August 30), which is not negative. In the previous Senate election, attention has been drawn to the new selection group that has issued a “consumption tax abolishment” to residents and citizens who have appealed against the increase in consumption tax since October. Reiwa's representative Taro Yamamoto is calling for approval of a reduction in the consumption tax rate as a condition for joining the opposition party in the next House of Representatives election. If the constitution and the people cut the “tax cut to 8%”, the vector will be ready and the environment for the fighting will be improved. Nonetheless, there are risks in raising the consumption tax cut. Residents and citizens are successors to the former Democratic Party who led the 10% increase in the consumption tax rate, and criticism of “irresponsible” is inevitable. In addition, former Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, who leads the House of Representatives “National Council for Reconstructing Social Security,” is in a position that a tax rate increase is necessary, and it may become a spark for the unification group concept of the residents and the people including the conference.
