Regarding the "annual income barrier"... Did the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications ...

We have independently obtained documents that support the story that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has made "requests" to local leaders across the country regarding the increase in the basic deduction, known as the 1.03 million yen "annual income barrier," and the lifting of the trigger clause in gasoline prices. Who wrote and sent this document, and for what purpose? We conducted an investigation. On November 13, Representative Tamaki of the Democratic Party for the People appeared on TOKYO MX's "Hori Jun Live Junction" and revealed the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the National Association of Governors regarding the 1.03 million yen "annual income barrier." When Hori Jun asked Tamaki, "There is talk that 'What will happen to the regions if the 1.03 million yen barrier is broken?'" Tamaki replied, "Right now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is working hard to manipulate the National Association of Governors and the heads of each local government. By manipulation, I mean Minister Murakami himself contacting the chairman of the Association of Governors and telling them, 'Please make this statement,' and 'Please stop because this will result in this kind of revenue loss,' and even creating a statement outline. I don't think it's appropriate to do that. I want the national government and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to stop working so hard." What does Tamaki mean by "the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications' 'manipulation' of each governor"? The Democratic Party for the People is promoting an economic policy that would raise the annual income at which income tax is levied from the current 1.03 million yen to 1.78 million yen. The government and the National Association of Governors are concerned that a review of this so-called "annual income barrier" is expected to result in a total reduction in tax revenue of about 7.6 trillion yen per year for the national and local governments. According to information obtained by Hori Jun, on November 11, Minister Murakami called National Governors' Association Chairman Murai and told him about the 1.03 million yen annual income barrier, "If we listen to everything the opposition has to say, local finances will not be able to hold up. I want the Governors' Association to voice its opposing opinion." He also instructed Murai to respond to the media by saying, "I am opposed to the consideration being moved forward while setting aside the discussion of issues regarding local financial resources." In order to find out whether Minister Murakami had actually approached Chairman Murai, we interviewed an official at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and asked, "I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is briefing the heads of each local government, but is this true?" He replied, "I am not aware of this." When we continued by asking, "Is it true that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications compiled information and briefed local heads?" he replied, "I am not aware of this." The National Governors' Association secretariat also replied, "We do not know" whether such exchanges took place. Miyagi Prefecture, where Chairman Murai serves as governor, also commented, "I am not aware of this. This is the first time I've heard about this." In the midst of this, the National Governors' Association will make an emergency request to the LDP's General Affairs Committee on November 19th. The original draft of the "request" that we obtained states, "We strongly request that sufficient consideration be given to the impact on local finances so that local governments can maintain stable administrative services," due to concerns about a huge decrease in tax revenue and an increase in expenditures for administrative services due to the raising of the "annual income barrier." The emergency request is in the name of Chairman Murai of the National Governors' Association and Governor Kono of Miyazaki Prefecture, who serves as chairman of the National Governors' Association's "Standing Committee on Local Tax and Finance." And it was Governor Kono's "Miyazaki Prefecture" that prepared it, and when we actually checked, a Miyazaki Prefecture official confirmed the preparation of the emergency request, saying, "As the chairman prefecture, we are naturally preparing while anticipating such movements, so we have prepared a rough draft in our prefecture, which is the chairman prefecture." On the other hand, local governments that are not members of the standing committee, such as Okayama Prefecture, have not received any emergency requests from the National Governors' Association.
