The ruling party's tax reform outline for the next fiscal year, which was decided on the 10th, included a significant increase in the deduction rate to be deducted from corporate tax under the focus of the "wage increase tax system."

In the future, the government will be asked whether, in addition to these tax measures, it will be possible to create an environment in which a wide range of companies can continuously raise wages.

In the next year's ruling party's tax reform outline, which was decided by the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party on the 10th, the deduction rate for deducting the corporate tax from the corporate tax will be up to 30% for large companies, depending on the company's efforts to raise wages. , Small and medium-sized enterprises have been included to raise up to 40%.



However, it has been pointed out that more than 60% of SMEs are in the red and do not pay corporate tax, so it is difficult to benefit from the tax reform and the effect of encouraging wage increases is poor.



For this reason, the government plans to encourage a wide range of companies to raise wages by combining measures other than the tax system, such as raising the subsidy rate of "manufacturing subsidies" for small and medium-sized enterprises that are aggressive in raising wages.



Furthermore, the government will be asked whether it will be possible to create an environment in which companies can continuously raise wages through the budget plan for the next fiscal year and new growth strategies that will be formulated in the future.
