Japan gov't mulls raising tax-free income threshold from January 2026 The government and the ruling parties are considering applying a higher income tax exemption threshold from January 2026, in a move to incentivize part-timers to work longer hours amid Japan's labor shortage, a source close to the matter said Tuesday. The schedule is expected if the government decides on raising the threshold for imposing income tax, currently set at a minimum annual income of 1.03 million, in its tax reform plan for the next fiscal year starting April. Related bills will be subsequently deliberated in the Diet for likely enactment around the spring. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner the Komeito party, which lost their majority in the powerful House of Representatives in October's general election, have agreed to accept a request from a minor opposition party, the Democratic Party for the People, to increase the nontaxable income threshold. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan

Japan births fall under 330,000 in Jan-June, down 6.3% from 2023 The number of births in Japan in 2024 is likely to fall under 700,000 for the first time after government data showed Tuesday that the figure in the first half fell 6.3 percent from a year earlier to 329,998. The figure for the first six months of this year, which does not include foreigners, reflects the birth rate remaining at record lows in the past years, as more people choose not to marry or delay marriage and having children until later in life. The number of deaths in the first half increased 1.8 percent from the same period last year to 800,274, and the natural decrease, subtracted from the number of births, stood at 470,276, according to the data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan

Japan's July core consumer prices up 2.7% on higher energy costs Japan's core consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in July from a year earlier, with the rate of increase expanding for the third straight month as energy costs were pushed up following a termination of government subsidies, data by the internal affairs ministry showed Friday. The increase in the nationwide core consumer price index, excluding volatile fresh food, followed a 2.6 percent rise in June. The inflation rate has remained at or above the Bank of Japan's 2 percent target since April 2022. Core-core CPI, which strips away both energy and fresh food and shows underlying price trends, was up 1.9 percent. The results underscore ongoing inflation, which has weighed on Japanese households. A weaker yen has also pushed up import prices from food to energy. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan
