Consumption tax rate 10% Corresponding to each company's new system such as retail October 1: 19:20
The consumption tax rate was raised to 10% a day. A reduced tax rate and a cashless payment point return system that keeps the tax rate of food and drinks excluding alcoholic beverages and eating out at 8% started, and retailers and other companies were forced to respond to the new system.
The consumption tax rate has been raised from 8% to 10% per day, and the first time a reduced tax rate has been introduced that keeps the tax rate for food and beverages excluding alcoholic beverages and eating out at 8%. A system has also begun in which 5% of points are returned with points.
At the food supermarket in Saitama Prefecture, where there is “eat-in” space, tax rates are different for take-away and eating and drinking in the store. I was calling.
In addition, at supermarkets in Tokyo that participated in the point return system, they were asked to deal with cash by using cashless payments and explaining the system structure to customers. Under these circumstances, some of the major conveyor belt sushi chains, “Sushiro” stores, suffered from a problem that the consumption tax, which would otherwise be 10%, would be 0% due to a system malfunction.
In addition, troubles occurred at some companies such as “Ministop”, a major convenience store, when the tax rate was raised at midnight today.
On the other hand, consumers are confused by the complexity of the system, and the challenge is whether to proceed smoothly with the new tax rate and system.
