Increase in consumption tax for 1 month Orders for cashiers corresponding to reduced tax rates increase rapidly on September 1 at 18:35
One month is left until the consumption tax rate is raised to 10%. Manufacturers are rushing to produce because of the rapid increase in orders for cashiers corresponding to “reduced tax rates” for food and beverage products.
Among these, at the assembly factory of the cashier manufacturer “Digieyes” in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, orders from supermarkets and retailers nationwide have been increasing one after another. Approximately 3000 units, three times the previous year.
In addition, the same number of units are scheduled to be shipped this month, and the demand for high-priced products of about 1.5 to 2 million yen is high.
The cash register is also checked by the workers assembling one by one. At the factory, the number of temporary employees and partner companies has been increased from 100 to 130, and overtime of up to 3 hours per day is in time for delivery. .
President Nobuhiro Yui of “Digital Eyes” said that the subsidy from the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency encouraged the replacement of cashiers at retail stores, etc. We will do our best to avoid any inconvenience to our customers. "
On the other hand, orders from major Casio calculators in cash register production increased from the end of June, and sales in July increased to nearly twice that of last year.
In addition, TOSHIBA TEC also sold cash register sales from April to June about twice as much as the same period last year. It means that the situation is lacking.
Customers are inquiring about the timing of cash register delivery and how to change the settings to meet the reduced tax rate, and each company responds by providing a dedicated call center.
