Adjustment to relax subsidy requirements for cash register installation Small Business Agency August 27, 12:10
As the consumption tax rate has increased, there is a risk that manufacturers will not be able to deliver in time as demand for cashiers that meet the “reduced tax rate” for food and beverages increases. The Small and Medium Enterprise Agency has relaxed the subsidy requirements for setting up cash registers, and found that if the contract procedure is completed within the next month, it is adjusting in the direction of subsidy.
The increase in the consumption tax rate in October introduced a reduced tax rate that kept the tax rate of food and beverages excluding alcoholic beverages at 8%, and retail stores and other products had a mix of 8% and 10% tax rates. System repair is required.
The government will provide subsidies to cover this expense on the condition that cash register installation and payment have been completed in the next month, but the demand for cash registers will rise rapidly with the consumption tax rate raised. There are a number of voices saying that the delivery of cash registers from manufacturers is not in time.
For this reason, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency relaxes the subsidy payment requirements and adjusts the contract to be subsidized if the contract procedure is completed within the next month even if the cash register is not actually installed.
In addition, we will consider what kind of support can be provided for small and medium-sized retailers that have not been able to install cash registers corresponding to the reduced tax rate by October 1.
