法人所得１０年ぶり減少　コロナ影響か、下げ幅過去３番目―国税庁

　国税庁は５日、２０１９年度に決算期を迎えた法人の申告所得額が１８年度比１１．４％減の６５兆５２億円だったと発表した。１０年ぶりの減少で、下げ幅は統計を取り始めた１９６７年以降、リーマンショックやバブル崩壊時に次いで３番目。同庁は新型コロナウイルスによる経済活動の低迷が影響したとみている。
　申告件数２９４万９０００件のうち、黒字申告の割合は３５．３％で、１８年度と比べて０．６ポイント増えたが、１件当たりの所得金額は１３．５％減の６２３８万円だった。３月期決算の法人がコロナの影響で黒字額を減少させるなどしたとみられる。（2020/11/05-16:27）

Income declared by companies across Japan for fiscal 2019 dropped 11.4 pct from the previous year to 65,005.2 billion yen, down for the first time in 10 years, the National Tax Agency said Thursday.
   The drop marked the third-largest-ever level since 1967, when the agency began compiling such statistics, after the falls marked at the time of the global financial crisis triggered by the 2008 collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers and the bursting of the economic bubble in the early 1990s.
   The agency believes that the decline is due to the slump in economic activity caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
   Of the total 2,949,000 declarations, income reports from profitable companies accounted for 35.3 pct, up 0.6 percentage point from the previous year. But income per declaration fell 13.5 pct to 62.38 million yen, apparently due to a drop in profits amid the coronavirus crisis among firms closing their books in March.
