Point reduction registration procedure Quick response request from the government National Chamber of Commerce and Industry 11:52 on November 11

With regard to cashless payment point reduction that started in response to the consumption tax rate increase, the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry requested the government to respond promptly, saying that there are small and medium-sized stores that are still in the process of registering and cannot start returning.

On the 11th, Chairman Mori of the National Federation of Commerce and Industry representing small and medium-sized companies met with the Minister of Economic Revitalization Nishimura.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Mori said, “Regional SMEs are in a difficult situation where they cannot feel the virtuous cycle of the economy due to a shortage of human resources and successors. “I think it is,” he said, and requested that the government implement a new large-scale support measure for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In addition, Chairman Mori requested that the government respond promptly because the registration procedure for the cashless payment point redemption system was delayed and there were still stores that could not start redemption.

He also explained the situation that SMEs are confused by the implementation of the reduced tax rate.

Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, told reporters after the meeting, “The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has asked the business operators to complete the procedure for point reduction early, but I would like to confirm it again. I want to hurry because there are still procedures. "
