As a measure against rising prices, the four opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party, jointly submitted a bill to the Diet that included a reduction in the consumption tax rate to 5% for the time being.
The Constitutional Democratic Party, the Communist Party, the Reiwa Shinsengumi, and the Social Democratic Party's four opposition parties have jointly submitted to the House of Representatives a bill that includes a tax system review to mitigate the effects of rising prices and reduce economic disparities. ..
The bill will set a special provision to reduce the consumption tax rate to 5% for the time being, strengthen the progressiveness of income tax, and promote the burden of corporate tax.
The four parties have put together a bill that they can agree on before the Upper House election, while there are some differences in their claims regarding the consumption tax, such as demanding tax cuts and abolition.
Ogawa, the chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party's political affairs investigation, told reporters, "People's lives are the most important, and it is significant that the opposition parties have held dialogues to serve them. I am determined to face the House of Councilors. "
