Consumption tax point reduction 4 convenience stores 4 real discounts at the time of payment August 20 22:35
In the point-return system for cashless payments accompanying the increase in the consumption tax rate, the four major convenience stores are considering deducting the amount equivalent to 2% of the refundable amount from the purchase amount and paying a substantial discount. I found out.
In the “point reduction system” introduced in conjunction with the increase in the consumption tax rate in October, if you shop for cashless payments at small and medium-sized retail stores, points will be returned until June of next year, and the amount will be returned by the country. Assist
At major convenience stores, in addition to franchise stores, which are often privately managed, directly managed stores that are not subject to the system will also be rewarded with 2% points at the company's expense.
The major 7 convenience stores such as “Seven-Eleven”, “Family Mart”, “Lawson”, and “Ministop” deducted the amount equivalent to 2% of the refundable amount from the purchase amount. It turned out that it is considering in the direction of conducting a discount.
For example, if you purchase a product of 1000 yen including tax with cashless payment, 20 yen will be returned on the spot you bought and the actual payment will be 980 yen.
The point is that the government will give points at a later date rather than at the time of purchase, but the major convenience store has decided that deducting 2% at the time of purchase will make it easier for consumers to understand and benefit from it. is.
