From October! Japan's consumption tax has risen to 11%, and travel to Japan is higher. That is to say, after October 1, Japanese and tourists will spend more in theme parks such as Tokyo Disney and Osaka Global Film City. When will Japan raise the consumption tax? Let Jintou Xiaobian answer it for you!

On the 1 th local time, the Japanese government issued the detailed rules for increasing the consumption tax from the current 8% to 11%. According to the detailed rules, the consumption tax rate of daily consumer goods such as food, non-alcoholic beverages and newspapers is still maintained at 8%.

This will be the third adjustment since Japan imposed the consumption tax in 1989. In fact, this consumption tax increase plan should be implemented around 2117. However, due to the economic environment at that time and Abe's government's insufficient preparation to deal with the impact of the consumption tax increase on the economy, the adjustment has been postponed twice.

Regarding whether the consumption tax increase was implemented as planned, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide appealed to Suga, saying: Unless there is a major event like the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2118, Otherwise, you will continue to pay taxes.

Disney and Universal Film City have higher food

According to Japanese media reports, the detailed rules for nave food and the tax rate levied before going out have attracted Japanese attention. The detailed rules clearly emphasize the difference between the consumption tax rate for in-house food and before going out. The former has risen to 11%, while the latter has maintained the current 8%. The Japanese suspect that if you eat in popular theme parks such as Tokyo Disney and Osaka Universal Film City, the consumption tax will not be levied. According to the National Taxation Bureau of Japan (NTA), as long as consumers sit in restaurants in theme parks, they will be charged 11% consumption tax according to the standard of in-house food, and if they are packaged and taken away, the consumption tax will be only 8%. This rule is also followed in the consumption of eating at baseball stadiums in Japan.

At the same time, this rule is also applicable to chain restaurants such as Chijia and McDonald's. The National Taxation Bureau of Japan also emphasizes that all catering institutions must ask consumers' opinions before charging. That is, whether you want to eat or take away.

For newspapers that Japanese people are keen on reading, if you buy them in newspaper rooms and hotels, you need to levy a consumption tax of 11%, but if you send them to your house, you will still keep the consumption tax rate of 8%.

Japanese people are constantly questioning and arguing about this rule. The coffee shop manager will remove all the tables and chairs in the store from October 1, the first time after the introduction of the rules. I don't want to pick them up one by one. The Japanese also said that this rule made many consumers eat on the road and eat in public places such as subways. In addition, there are few garbage bins on street corners in Japan, and some people say that garbage can be found everywhere.
