The Liberal Democratic Party-New Komeito ruling bloc said it will not levy lower taxes on foods and other daily essentials when the 5 percent sales tax is raised to 8 percent and instead will hand out cash allowances to low-income households.自民公明の連立与党は、消費税率を今の5%から8%に上げる際、食品や生活必需品に軽減税率は導入せず、代わりに低所得層に現金給付する方針を発表した。
