The government has yet to find ways to secure some ¥2.4 trillion in stable financial resources to fund the planned elimination of the provisional gasoline tax surcharge and a free high school education program. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/02/japan/politics/funding-on-new-japan-policies/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #jip #nipponishinnokai #komeito #taxes #energy #education #financeministry

Japan sees no stable funding for costly policy plans

Six ruling and opposition parties broadly agreed Friday to scrap the add-on levy for gasoline on Dec. 31 and for gas oil on April 1 next year.

@thejapantimes I have a solution: 1. Compute cost for policy plans. 2. Compute all energy used last year - regardless of source, coal, oil, nuclear, solar, etc. and convert to kwh. 3. Divide COST by KWh and apply it as tax on that energy. Eliminate all other taxes - period. If you use energy - you pay the tax.
