Press Conference By Tadahiro Matsushita, Japan's Minister For Financial Services
[Questions & Answers]
- Q.
-
I have two questions. First, could you explain the key points of the Financial Services Agency's (FSA's) request related to the fiscal year 2013 tax reform, the draft of which I understand has been finalized?
- A.
-
Regarding the request related to the fiscal year 2013 tax reform, we are still doing the finishing touches, so I cannot mention details. However, in light of the Comprehensive Strategy for the Rebirth of Japan, which was adopted upon a cabinet decision on July 30, we are considering requesting the introduction of the Japanese version of the ISA (Individual Savings Account: tax exemption for dividend income and capital gains related to small-amount investments in listed stocks) as a permanent measure and a fundamental review of the financial and securities tax system, which promotes the unification of financial income taxation. We are also considering requesting support for the rehabilitation of small and medium-size enterprises (SME) against the background of the expiration of the SME Financing Facilitation Act at the end of the fiscal year 2012. These will be the centerpieces of our request.
As for the specifics of our request related to the fiscal year 2013 tax reform, the FSA staff will provide appropriate explanations to you after the submission of the request. We will flesh out the request further by the submission deadline of September 7. I would like you to wait for a while for our explanations.
At yesterday's meeting of cabinet ministers on overcoming deflation, I explained the FSA's activities and approach to tax systems that I mentioned.
