The Democratic Party of Japan submitted a bill to the Diet on the 29th that includes measures to combat soaring fuel prices. The bill would unfreeze the "trigger clause" that suspends the taxation of the additional portion of gasoline tax, lowering the price by approximately 25 yen per liter.
The goal is to abolish the "temporary tax rate" It also states that a new tax should be created in the future, taking into consideration the lack of financial resources that will result from the abolition.
