National Democratic Party Reintroduces Legislation to Abolish Temporary Gasoline Tax
Tokyo, Japan – August 1, 2025 – The National Democratic Party today announced the reintroduction of its “Shin-Gasoline Temporary Tax Abolition Act,” a private member’s bill aimed at eliminating the temporary surcharges currently applied to gasoline sales. The party emphasized its commitment to alleviating the financial burden on citizens and businesses facing rising fuel costs.
The proposed legislation seeks to remove the temporary tax measures that have extended the period for collecting additional levies on gasoline. These temporary surcharges, originally intended for specific purposes, have remained in place for an extended duration, contributing to higher retail prices for gasoline.
The National Democratic Party argues that the continued collection of these temporary taxes is no longer justified and places an undue financial strain on households and industries heavily reliant on transportation. The party highlighted the impact of elevated fuel prices on everyday consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the broader economy.
This reintroduction marks the party’s continued effort to address concerns regarding energy costs and to promote economic relief for the Japanese public. The party stated its intention to engage in thorough discussions with other political parties and stakeholders to garner support for the bill, advocating for a swift passage to provide tangible benefits to the nation.
Further details regarding the specific provisions of the bill and the party’s rationale are expected to be released in conjunction with the legislative process.
