⭐️I've released a note!🦊✨️ 👉️https://note.com/super_colt5490 I provide detailed explanations of the latest news and interesting topics! I'll do my best to post frequently, so I'd be happy if you would check it out♪ Thank you! --- Likes and hype are encouraging! Please feel free to leave comments. This video is about... An explanation of the consumption tax system and the problems with the "zero consumption tax on food" policy. There's a widespread "illusion" that consumption tax is something consumers pay, but in reality, it's a tax levied on businesses, and vulnerable businesses can't pass on the consumption tax to prices, so they pay it out of their own pockets. If the consumption tax on food is eliminated, restaurants' ingredient purchases will no longer be subject to invoices, potentially widening the tax base and effectively increasing taxes. Are those promoting this policy really thinking about businesses? What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

In Japan, it is mistakenly thought to be a "tax borne by consumers," but accurately speaking, it is a type of "value-added tax" levied on businesses. ◆Value Added Tax (Value Added Tax): A tax levied on the value added (profit + labor costs) of businesses. In countries other than Japan, this is the term used for a tax equivalent to consumption tax, clearly indicating that the tax is levied on businesses. ◆Deposits: The idea that consumption tax is "money temporarily held by businesses from consumers." The video points out that this is a misunderstanding. ◆Invoice System: The qualified invoice system introduced in October 2023. Only expenses with an "invoice (qualified invoice)" issued by the supplier are deductible in the calculation of consumption tax. ◆Expenses with Invoices / Expenses without Invoices: Expenses with invoices include purchase costs, utilities, rent, etc. Expenses without invoices are mainly labor costs (salaries). In calculating the amount of consumption tax payable, only the consumption tax on expenses with invoices can be deducted. ◆Profit and Loss Statement: A financial statement showing a company's sales, expenses, and profits for a specific period. The video uses a horizontal diagram to explain the consumption tax structure. ◆Second Corporate Tax: An expression describing the nature of consumption tax. While corporate tax is levied only on "profits," consumption tax is levied on "profits + personnel costs (expenses without invoices)," resulting in a broader tax base and creating a tax obligation even for companies operating at a loss. ◆Reduced Tax Rate: A system that applies a lower tax rate than the standard rate to specific items (mainly food and beverages). In Japan, 8% is applied. ◆0% Food Consumption Tax: A policy proposal to eliminate consumption tax on food. While this may seem beneficial to consumers, it has been pointed out that for restaurants, the shift in food procurement costs from invoiced expenses (deductible) to uninvoiced expenses broadens the tax base, effectively resulting in a tax increase. ◆Takeshita Cabinet: The cabinet that first introduced the consumption tax (3% tax rate) in 1989 (Heisei 1). Led by Prime Minister Takeshita Noboru. ◆Hashimoto Ryutaro Administration: The cabinet that raised the consumption tax from 3% to 5% in 1997. This tax increase is considered to have triggered a long-term deflationary recession, and former Prime Minister Hashimoto himself later admitted that the tax increase was a failure. ◆ Abenomics: The economic policies advocated by the second Abe administration. While centered on proactive fiscal policy and monetary easing, it is pointed out that the economic recovery stalled after the consumption tax was raised from 5% to 8% in 2014. ◆ Real Wages: An indicator showing actual purchasing power, calculated by subtracting inflation from nominal wages. The video mentions 26 consecutive months of decline. ◆ Refundable Tax Credit: A system where the difference is paid by the government if the amount of income tax deductions exceeds the amount of tax paid. While intended to support low-income individuals, concerns have been raised about the risk...
