１９年度税収、５０兆円台半ばに　コロナ響き３年ぶり減少

　２０１９年度の国の税収が見込み額（６０．２兆円）から大幅に下振れることが１７日、明らかになった。新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大を受けた実体経済の悪化や納税猶予などで、２年ぶりに６０兆円を割り込むだけでなく、５０兆円台半ばまで落ち込む見通しだ。税収減は３年ぶり。
　１９年度税収をめぐり、政府は当初６２．５兆円の過去最高額を見込んでいたが、米中貿易摩擦に伴う日本企業の輸出低迷などを受け、昨年末に６０．２兆円へ下方修正した。さらに、コロナ禍で納税が困難な事業者に来年１月末まで国税の納付を猶予したことで、「税収が大きく減ることは確実だ」（財務省幹部）という。今年に入ってからの景気悪化も影響する。（2020/06/17-21:23）

The Japanese government's tax revenues for fiscal 2019, which ended in March, will be significantly lower than its projection of 60.2 trillion yen, due to the effects of the coronavirus epidemic, it was learned on Wednesday.
   Annual tax revenues are now expected to fall back below 60 trillion yen, posting the first decrease in three years.
   For fiscal 2019, the government initially estimated that its tax revenues would expand to a record 62.5 trillion yen. In the face of sluggish exports against the backdrop of U.S.-China trade friction, however, it lowered the estimate to 60.2 trillion yen in December.
   Furthermore, the government has decided to allow businesses hit by the coronavirus crisis to defer tax payments until January 2021.
   "Tax revenues (for fiscal 2019) are now certain to fall sharply," a senior Finance Ministry official said.
