  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On October 1, 2019 Japan raised the consumption tax for most goods and services from 8 to 10 percent. The consumption tax for food and drink, except for liquor and meals eaten at the point of sale, remains unchanged at 8 percent. The expansion of home replacement meals, takeout menus, and food delivery options is not expected to be affected as the tax hike only covers consumption at the point of sale.
