Tokyo, Dec. 6.
Green tea, soap, dental paste, potted dwarf trees, pet animals, ivory, cloisonne and amber articles, and cakes of superior quality will be taxed under a new plan made public by the Finance Ministry.
The new schedule will bring an annual increase in national revenue of Y.510,000,000 if it is enforced during the next fiscal year after approval is given in the 75th Diet. The average earned income taxpayer will pay under the new system six per cent, of his annual income minus Y.600. The sum of Y.12 will be deducted for each person supported.—Domei
