Relaxations on Mull Tax by Japan from Automobiles buying

TOKYO—The Japanese government is probably going to think about lowering a tax obligatory on machine purchases once the country's excise tax is raised next year, a ruling-party lawgiver aware of the same program. 

The car-purchasing tax "should be lowered little by little to cushion the impact" on vehicle sales, the lawgiver said Thursday, adding that the ruling parties' tax council can in all probability address the matter once it meets at the top of the year to debate tax-system revisions for the year beginning in Apr.
