☆Consumption Tax

先日、不動産業をしている友人と話していたら、コロナ禍で、不動産の動きが活性化してきているとの事でした。その理由として、1)コロナ禍で海外旅行などに行けなくなり余剰資金が不動産投資にシフトされた事　2)自宅勤務が増え、駅近でなくても、自然に恵まれた環境に立地するより広い家に対するニーズが高まった事が考えられるそうです。（奥池などの物件なども含まれる。）経済を活性化するために、消費税を軽減すれば、住宅投資がさらに加速するのではないかと、ふと、思いました。

Consumption tax
According to a friend of mine who runs a real estate business, the housing market is becoming increasingly active presumably for the following COVID-19 related reasons: 1) Money spent for leisure activities has been shifted to the housing market. 2) Despite poor access to the nearest transit station, there is more demand for spacious houses in suburban/remote areas, probably due to the spread of the notion “Work From Home.” As such, it might be a good idea to lower the consumption tax rate in order to further stimulate the economy by increasing consumer purchasing power. This may eventually help solve problems pertaining to the increasing number of unoccupied residences in local areas.
