Japan food tax: Plans to cut country's food consumption tax

In Japan, plans to cut the country's food consumption tax to ease the cost of living pressure is emerging as a key issue in the upcoming election.
The proposal marks a reversal of the Liberal Democratic Party's long-standing stance against tax cuts.
Experts warn that such a move could undermine Japan's finances over the long term.
