Before the tax hike

Tomorrow is 1st April, in Japan many fledgling people join their companies/schools. Also many things change tomorrow.

Tomorrow the consumption tax in Japan will rise first time since 1997. The tax rate will be 8% and will become 10% in next year. Also other tax will be raise from tomorrow.

For example, petrol price will increase about 5 yen per litre. Because the petrol price will be applied both consumption tax and global warming countermeasures tax.
Well, many people are trying to buy before the tax hike so there were a lot of people waiting to fuelling in front of the petrol stations.

Yes, me too. I fulfilled my car's tank before the tax hike like this.



Thanks
