飲食店の酒持ち帰り可　コロナ対策で限定免許―国税庁

　新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大による飲食店の売り上げ激減を受け、国税庁は１０日までに、期限付きの酒類小売業免許を新設し、受け付けを開始した。６カ月間に限り、店内で提供する酒類を、持ち帰りや宅配でも販売できるようになる。
　国税庁によると、販売できるのは抱えている在庫や既存の取引先から仕入れる酒。居酒屋などから「在庫の酒を売って資金にしたい」との要望が、各地の税務署に寄せられていたという。
　自治体の短縮営業要請などに従うことが条件で、申請の期限は６月３０日。個人事業主は住民票、法人は登記事項証明書のみで手続き可能で、手数料や登録免許税は不要。数日～１週間程度での交付を目指す。（2020/04/10-20:12）

The Japanese government has decided to allow restaurants and bars to sell alcoholic drinks for takeout and delivery to help them survive the severe business environment caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
   In line with the decision, the National Tax Agency has introduced a six-month alcohol-sales license and started to accept applications. The deadline is June 30.
   Alcoholic drinks covered by the new license are those already in inventories or procured from the existing suppliers of each restaurant and bar.
   Local tax offices have received requests from "izakaya" dining bars and others for permission to sell alcoholic drinks in inventories to secure funds.
   In Tokyo, the metropolitan government asked restaurants and bars to stop serving alcoholic drinks by 7 p.m. and close by 8 p.m. after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency over the outbreak Tuesday. The targets of the request do not include takeout or delivery services.
