Japan's Sales Tax Complications
-
Short version:
- New Prime Minister promises to suspend sales tax
- Blames delay on computer systems' inability to calculate 0% sales tax -- company maintaining said system says will need a year of work to implement 0% sales tax
- may come down to doing 1% sales tax for food first -- even this will take half a year
I wonder if they use COBOL.
