Use of subsidy to introduce cash register corresponding to reduced tax rate August 16th 4:29
As the consumption tax rate is increased by one and a half, small and medium-sized retail stores have not introduced cash registers corresponding to the “reduced tax rate” of food and beverages, so the government uses subsidies to replace cash registers and systems. Encourage them to renovate.
The increase in the consumption tax rate on October 1 introduces a reduced tax rate that keeps the tax rate for food and drinks excluding alcoholic beverages at 8%, and retailers and other stores have products with tax rates of 8% and 10%. Replacement by purchase or system modification is required.
However, as of the end of last month, there were approximately 120,000 applications for subsidies to cover this expense, which is only about 40% of the assumption.
For this reason, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency has a management instructor who is in charge of business management for small and medium-sized businesses at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Commerce Associations nationwide to circulate retail stores and encourage responses.
In addition, in order to accept subsidy applications and consultations, the telephone system that is currently set up from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays will be expanded so that consultations can be made at the same time on Saturdays from next month. I want to ensure thorough awareness and response.
