Demand for wedding rings rush in before raising consumption tax rate Sapporo September 30 17:54
With the consumption tax rate raised on the first day of the 10th, customers who purchase expensive wedding rings and engagement rings within 30 days are coming to the precious metal stores in Sapporo.
At the precious metal store in Sapporo, Chuo-ku, the number of customers such as couples has increased recently, and last week we sold 25 sets of wedding rings and engagement rings, more than 30% higher than usual.
On the morning of the 30th, a couple who was refraining from enrolling in November visited and chose a ring.
The selling price range is about 200,000 yen.
If the contract is signed during this month, the store wants to capture the last-minute demand by keeping the tax-inclusive price the same as before the tax increase by lowering the price of the main unit even after delivery next month when the tax rate will be 10%.
Takenori Miyanaga, the manager of the precious metal store “Legan” Sapporo, said, “The number of customers who want to prepare before the tax increase for the last week has increased, and sales have increased compared to normal.”
