Examining the mechanism for securing financial resources for measures against infectious diseases of local governments Tokyo Metropolitan Tax Recommendation November 24, 9:26
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Tax System Investigation Committee has put together a proposal that local governments should consider a mechanism for securing financial resources, such as expanding subsidies by the government, so that they can respond quickly to measures against infectious diseases.
As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads, the tax system investigation committee of the city, which is made up of experts and representatives of the members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, has discussed the theme of tax in promoting infectious disease countermeasures and compiled recommendations. It was.
In this, it is said that a mechanism for securing financial resources should be considered so that local governments can respond promptly.
Specifically, ▽ the government should expand the grants, ▽ the government should reduce the local tax to support businesses, etc., and if the tax revenue of the local government decreases, the entire amount should be covered.
On the other hand, as a measure to secure financial resources for the country, we are requesting that we consider new taxes to be introduced in cooperation with each country, such as taxation on giant IT companies that provide services all over the world.
In addition, we are proposing the so-called "with corona era" tax system, such as expanding preferential treatment when the telework environment is improved as a measure to support new working styles.
