Last year's demand was “not” more than 60% Is it because of reduced tax rate and economic measures?

Last year's demand was “not” more than 60% The reason is the reduced tax rate and economic measures November 26, 17:41

However, a survey by a private research firm found that more than 60% of companies were rushing into demand due to the consumption tax hike in October. The reason seems to be the introduction of a reduced tax rate for food and beverage products.

A private credit research company, Teikoku Databank, asked more than 23,000 companies nationwide whether or not there was a rush in demand and a subsequent decline in the consumption tax hike that started last month. Got an answer.

According to the survey, 26.5% of companies thought that “there was a rush” in demand, whereas 66.7% thought that it was “not”, two out of three companies.

Meanwhile, the reactionary decline in last-minute demand was 19.4% for "Yes", while 55.3% for "No" accounted for more than half.

According to the research company, “Economic measures such as a reduced tax rate system that keeps the tax rate of food and beverages excluding alcoholic beverages and eating out at 8% and expansion of mortgage tax cuts would have restrained rush demand and recoil. "

However, by industry, more than half of “Retail” responded that there was a rush in demand and a reactionary decline, so the research firm needs to keep a close eye on consumer trends in the future. It is said.
