Seven-Eleven 300 yen including tax changes to 301 yen due to change in calculation method September 18 0:12
Before the consumption tax rate was raised, Seven-Eleven changed the calculation method of payment amount at the cash register on the 16th. As a result, the amount of tax-included payments suddenly increased more than before, and the company explained at the store that “not enough customers were informed”.
Seven-Eleven has changed the calculation method of payment amount before raising the consumption tax rate on the 1st of next month.
Previously, the total price was calculated by adding the tax-inclusive price for each purchased product, but the tax-excluded price for the purchased product was added, and finally the method of applying an 8% tax rate was changed.
For example, if you bought three coffees with a tax-excluded price of 93 yen and a tax-included price of 100 yen at the same time, the total price before tax was 300 yen so far.
However, from the 16th, if the consumption tax rate of 8% is applied to 279 yen, which is the sum of three coffee-excluded prices, it will be 301 yen, and the amount of payment will increase by 1 yen.
There are surprises and complaints about the sudden increase in payments on the Internet.
Seven-Eleven's headquarters said, “There was not enough information for customers,” and continued to explain the document by stating that the calculation method was changed at the storefront.
