From 10! Japan's consumption tax has risen to 10%, and traveling to Japan is even higher. In other words, after 10, Japanese and tourists will spend more in theme parks such as Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Osaka. When will Japan raise the consumption tax? Let Bian Xiao, the muscle head, answer for you!

On 1 day local time, the Japanese government issued the detailed rules for raising the consumption tax from the current 8% to 10%. According to the detailed rules, food, non-alcoholic beverages, newspapers and other consumer goods still maintain the consumption tax rate of 8%.

This will be the third adjustment since Japan introduced the consumption tax in 1989. In fact, this consumption tax increase plan should be implemented around 20 17 years ago, but due to the economic environment at that time and the Abe government's insufficient preparation for dealing with the economic impact of consumption tax increase, the adjustment has been postponed twice.

Regarding whether the consumption tax increase is implemented as planned, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide appealed to Sugar that the government will continue to pay taxes unless there is a major event similar to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Disney and Universal Movie City have higher diets.

According to Japanese media reports, the details of nave food and the tax rate levied before going out have attracted Japanese attention. The detailed rules clearly emphasize the difference of consumption tax rate between internal food and before going out. The former has risen to 10%, while the latter maintains the current 8%. The Japanese suspect that consumption tax will not be levied when eating in popular theme parks such as Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Osaka. The National Taxation Bureau of Japan (NTA) said that as long as consumers sit in the restaurants of theme parks, the consumption tax of 10% is levied according to the standard of food in the category, and if they are packed and taken away, the consumption tax is only 8%. The consumption of eating in Japanese baseball fields also follows this law.

At the same time, this rule also applies to chain restaurants such as Jijijia and McDonald's. The IRS also stressed that all catering institutions must seek the opinions of consumers before charging, that is, whether they want to eat or take away.

For newspapers that Japanese people are keen on reading, if they are purchased in newspapers and hotels, they need to be taxed at the rate of 10%, but if they are delivered to houses, the consumption tax rate of 8% will be maintained.

The Japanese people are constantly questioning and arguing about this provision. As soon as the regulations were promulgated, the coffee shop manager removed all the tables and chairs from 10 to 1. I don't want to ask customers one by one if they want to eat or take away. The Japanese also said that this regulation allows many consumers to eat on the road and in public places such as subways. In addition, there are almost no garbage cans on street corners in Japan, and some people say that garbage can be seen everywhere.
