Komeito leader Saito pointed out that tax cuts are necessary to alleviate the burden on households and businesses due to high prices and U.S. tariff measures, and expressed the view that cash payments should be considered as a temporary measure until tax cuts are realized.

Komeito leader Saito pointed out at the partys central executive meeting on the morning of the 10th that the most effective measure amid rising prices and the expanding impact of U.S. tariff measures is to directly reduce the burden on households and businesses through tax cuts.

<br><br>In addition, the realization of tax cuts requires certain processes such as legal revisions, which take time, and it is somewhat understandable to provide cash refunds as an interim measure

Cash refunds alone that do not lead to tax cuts are insufficient, he said, expressing the view that cash payments should be considered as a temporary measure until tax cuts are realized.

<br><br>And Mr. Saito indicated his intention to urge the government to swiftly compile comprehensive economic measures centered on tax cuts

<br>Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi: No fact of considering the formulation of a supplementary budget proposal<br>Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi, at a press conference, was asked whether economic measures, including the provision of benefits, are being considered in light of U.S. tariff measures and rising prices. He stated, I have conveyed to the Liberal Democratic Party to promptly summarize the partys views as a response to U.S. tariff measures, but it was not a request to consider economic measures, and there is no fact that the government is considering the formulation of a supplementary budget proposal.

<br><br>In addition, he stated, Regarding the response to rising prices, we will mobilize all policies included in last years supplementary budget and this years budget, and we will proceed with utmost care to address the impact of price increases on households and business activities.
