Japan plans to exempt food and beverage consumption tax within two years to ease the burden on residents.

Asa Hiyoshi: "In order to alleviate the burden on middle and low-income groups due to rising prices, we will exempt food and beverages currently subject to a lower tax rate from the consumption tax for two years. This was my personal wish. We will accelerate the review of the funding sources and schedule at future national meetings."
