At the House of Representatives Budget Committee, Minister of Finance Suzuki pointed out that the so-called "N-to-N-squared method", which is being called for as a countermeasure against the declining birthrate, will greatly benefit high-income earners, and will be carefully considered. I expressed my opinion that it should.

The "N-to-N-square method" is a tax system adopted in France, and it is said that the more dependents such as children, the less the burden of income tax on a household. The Democratic Party for the People is advocating its introduction.



At the House of Representatives Budget Committee meeting on the 2nd, Minister of Finance Suzuki responded, "In addition to changing the current taxation on an individual basis to a taxation on a household basis, there will be a reduction in income compared to double-income households. There are various issues, such as giving advantages to single-income households and giving large benefits to high-income earners," he said, suggesting that it should be carefully considered.

On the other hand, Minister of State for the Declining Birthrate Ogura commented on the issuance of national bonds as a source of funding for child and child-rearing policies, saying, ``Since the tax revenues of future generations will be used for repayment, the burden will be postponed, and it will be difficult to secure stable financial resources and financial credibility. From that point of view, it is necessary to carefully consider it," he said, showing a negative view.
