Eat secretly? Purchased at a tax rate of 8% and eat and drink one after another on October 8 at 17:25
One week after raising the consumption tax rate. If you eat in the store after buying a product at a supermarket or convenience store, the reduced tax rate will not be applied and the consumption tax will be 10%, but it seems that there are many people who have not properly declared at the time of payment. On SNS, it has become a hot topic that there are a number of cases where food and beverages purchased at a tax rate of 8% for take-out are eaten and eaten in an in-store space.
Of these, employees from the store that sells foods say, “Sometimes I bought 8% and used Eat-in-Space,” or “I did n’t bother to report and pay Eat-in taxes. Etc. ".
On the other hand, from those who ate in the store without buying a declaration when paying, `` I immediately evaded eat-in '' or `` I evaded eat-in, but where can I apologize for this? "And so on.
Even for the same product, there are also notes such as “annoying system” and “law is colander” about the tax rate changing depending on whether it is taken home or eaten in the store.
According to the NTA, most of the products at supermarkets and convenience stores are presumed to be taken home, so there is no need to strictly check each individual customer from the store side, and the tax rate is determined based on the offer from the customer side. It means that
The NTA, etc. said, “When a product is sold, it is decided whether it is 8% or 10%, so even if a customer who bought it for take-out changes his mind and eats it in the store, the tax rate is not usually changed, but it is correct I want you to keep the declaration in mind. ”
Eat-in users
You can also eat the products you bought at the supermarket in Adachi-ku, Tokyo.
As a general rule, a reduced tax rate is applied to food products, and the consumption tax is 8%. However, in the case of “eat-in” eaten in the store, it will be 10%. Please post a poster that says "Please".
Some of the people who used the store did not report it even if they were eating in the store.
A man in his 50s said, “Eat-in has been used even after the consumption tax goes up, but I haven't declared it at 10% by honestly registering, and I will not declare it in the future. So I want to buy even 1 yen cheaply. "
Also, a woman in her 50s who sometimes uses eat-in space says, “I think I'll be less likely to use eat-in in the future, but I just feel like I want to eat it. "
Some stores have seen a dramatic decrease in eat-in users
In many convenience stores and supermarkets, in the case of eat-in eaten in the store, the tax rate will be 10%, so posters are requested to offer at the time of purchase.
