Takaichis vorgeschlagene Null-Umsatzsteuer auf Lebensmittel bereitet Izakaya und Restaurantbesitzern Sorgen

Restraunt business owners – _“Fuck regular people. Keep groceries expensive so they think we are cheap by comparison!“_

The consumption tax on ingredients will drop to zero, and since restaurant workers‘ families will also benefit from lower food costs, this is likely just political propaganda. Besides, it’s worth looking at how other countries approach food-related taxes. If Japan were the only one doing this, the criticism might hold weight, but it’s not exactly an unusual policy on a global scale.
