1 month left until the consumption tax increase Order increase at the cash register “Reduced tax rate” introduced September 1 at 4:56
One month is left until the consumption tax rate is raised to 10%. At this point, orders for cashiers corresponding to the reduced tax rate have increased rapidly, and some stores that are not in time for delivery from manufacturers are likely to require measures such as using a calculator for accounting.
The increase in the consumption tax rate on the 1st of next month will introduce a “reduced tax rate” that keeps the tax rate of food and drinks excluding alcoholic beverages and restaurants at 8%. It is necessary to buy a cash register that can handle one tax rate.
The number of stores switching to the corresponding cash register has increased and orders have increased rapidly, making it difficult for manufacturers to keep up.
For this reason, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency is requesting support from the store side, such as promptly delivering cash registers to cash register manufacturers and dealers, and considering emergency measures in cooperation with rental companies.
However, it is expected that some small stores will not be able to change cash registers by October 1st. In such a case, it is necessary for the store to calculate with a calculator at the time of accounting or to issue a handwritten receipt, and it is expected that it will take time for the customer to take an account, etc. The
The Small and Medium Enterprise Agency initially relaxed the subsidy payment requirements, which were conditional on the establishment of the cash register in September, and the contract procedure was completed in September even if it was not in time. If it is completed, it will be eligible for assistance.
