An increase in the consumption tax rate was approaching on the 1st of next month. Before raising the tax rate, sales of “gift vouchers with premiums” implemented as a measure to reduce the burden have begun in some local governments, and there is also a window in department stores in Okayama City, where visitors visit.
Premium gift certificates are issued for low-income households such as low-income households and child-rearing households with small infants, and you can purchase a gift certificate for a maximum of 25,000 yen per person for 20,000 yen. .
Some local governments have begun sales before raising the consumption tax rate approaching one day.
Of these, Okayama City started on the 28th, and at the department store Tenmaya's sales counter, which is one of the counters, the visitor presented the voucher issued by the city and documents confirming the person's gift certificate. Was buying.
Gift certificates can only be used at stores approved by the local government. Okayama City covers approximately 2,300 stores in the city, but the period of use and target households vary depending on the local government, so confirmation is required.
Tenmaya Toshiyuki Okazaki Sales Planning Manager, one of the stores where this gift certificate can be used, sells about 400 copies even on the first day yesterday. I was worried about the effects of buying back, but I hope that using this gift certificate will lead to revitalization of the store and the community. "
