Prime Minister Takaichi: 'Reduce Consumption Tax on Food to 1%'

Prime Minister Takaichi is weighing a bold plan to cut the consumption tax on food from 8% to 1% for two years, starting next April. To soften the blow for low-income households, she proposes cash payments that would erase the tax entirely, while urging her party to rally behind the idea. Will this autumn's Diet session turn her proposal into law?
