PoliticsUnclear whether cross-party consumption tax panel can set direction on food cuts

Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi said that if discussions in the cross-party “National Conference” on reducing consumption tax for food are brought together around the beginning of next month, there will still be time to prepare legislation and related measures. However, the parties taking part in the conference remain divided in their views. It is therefore unclear whether the panel’s interim summary will be able to establish a clear direction.
