The Japanese Prime Minister is reportedly pushing forward the review of a reduction in the consumption tax. This economic tactic is seen as an effort to stimulate Japan's economy, which has been significantly affected by the pandemic. The timing of this move, as well as its potential impacts on the economy and society, remain to be fully understood.

In Japan, the consumption tax has been a hot topic for years due to its broad impact on the economy and society. It directly affects household consumption, which is a primary driver of the Japanese economy. A proposal for its reduction generally receives much attention and debate from all sectors of the society.

In the US and EU, similar issues involving tax modifications often ignite heated debates among political parties, economists, and the general public. While some argue cuts lead to economic growth by increasing consumers' purchasing power, others worry about the revenue shortfall and potential impact on government services.
