与野党の消費税引き下げ意見に「適当ではない」加藤財務相

加藤財務大臣は9日の閣議のあとの会見で、与野党双方から意見が出ている消費税税率引き下げについて「消費税社会保障制度支える重要財源税率引き下げは適当ではない」と述べ否定的考え示しました。

この中で加藤財務大臣は「消費税急速高齢化などに伴っ社会保障給付大きく増加する中、世代社会保障制度支える重要財源であることから、政府としてその税率引き下げることは適当でないと考えている」と述べ消費税税率引き下げには否定的考え示しました。

さらに税率引き下げ課題について

小売店などでは、レジのシステム改修値札の貼り替えに相当準備期間が必要だと指摘しました。

そのうえで「災害激甚安全保障環境変化などを踏まえる国民の安全と安心を預かる政府として、有事備え財政余力確保することも重要であり、とりわけ恒久歳出歳入つながる政策安定的財源確保しないで行うことは慎重でなければならない」と述べました。
