Japan's consumption tax cut bill aims to clear lower house on the 6th; opposition demands Prime Minister Takaichi appear for questioning
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 中央社 CNA
The Japanese government and ruling parties plan to pass the consumption tax cut bill in the House of Representatives as early as Nov. 6, while opposition parties demand that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi appear before the Financial Affairs Committee for questioning. The bill still has unclear points, such as the funding source for the tax cut and the amount of the support payments, and Komeito and the Democratic Party for the People have expressed dissatisfaction. Because the ruling parties do not hold a majority in the House of Councillors, the key to success lies in deliberations in the House of Councillors.

About 30 hours of questioning time
