Japonia va reduce drastic taxa pe comerțul cu produse alimentare pentru a susține puterea de cumpărare

Japan will reduce the sales tax on food and beverages to 1% for two years, starting next April, to combat inflation. This marks the first tax cut since 1989. The measure aims to alleviate cost-of-living pressures exacerbated by global events and a weak yen. However, it raises concerns about Japan's significant national debt, which exceeds twice its GDP. The tax cut is expected to result in a loss of 10 trillion yen in tax revenue. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is also considering other fiscal measures to offset the revenue deficit.
