消費税減税関連法案は6日午後の衆院本会議で、自民党や日本維新の会などの賛成多数により可決され、参院に送付された。野党各党は減税の財源や新たな給付金の制度設計が不透明だと批判し、反対した。政府・与党は12月12日の会期末までの成立を目指す。

消費減税、衆院通過へ 高市首相、給付対象「3割以上」

与党は来週11日にも参院で審議に入りたい考え。参院では与党が過半数に届いていないため、国民民主、公明両党に賛同を求めて働き掛ける見通しだ。

衆院本会議に先立つ衆院財務金融委員会では高市早苗首相が野党の質疑に応じた。中低所得者向けの所得連動給付「就業者負担軽減支援金」の対象者について、現役就業者の「3割以上」とする方針を明らかにした。公明の岡本三成代表に答えた。

政府はこれまで3割に当たる年収100万~350万円の2000万人程度とする「参考値」を示していた。支給対象の拡大に言及することで野党の理解を得る狙いがあるとみられる。
