過去２年の税収増還元　所得減税で岸田首相

　岸田文雄首相（自民党総裁）は２３日の党役員会で、所得税減税に関し、「過去２年の税収増を分かりやすく国民に税の形で還元すべきではないか」と語った。賃金上昇が物価高に追い付いていないとして国民負担を緩和する必要があるとの認識を示し、「可処分所得を直接的に下支えする所得税減税を含め、還元の在り方を検討すべきではないか」と述べた。（2023/10/23-20:28）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Monday tax revenue increases from the last two years should be returned to people in the form of a tax.
   At a meeting of executives of his ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Kishida underlined the need to ease the burden on the public as wage growth has not yet outpaced rising prices.
   "We should consider ways of returning (the increases), including an income tax cut" to directly push up disposable income, he said.
   Japan's tax revenue grew by over 6 trillion yen in fiscal 2021 and by over 4 trillion yen in fiscal 2022.
   Also at the meeting, Kishida said his administration will urge the business and labor communities to shift from a deflationary mindset to achieve substantial wage hikes next year.
