SOLVISTO

2 major cliques:
Those who will sell out everything they can at the 5% tax rate by the end of March
Those who have already announced selling according to the 8% rate

PV companies nationwide have wanted to finish delivery before the fiscal year is out. However, problems regarding pricing decisions and how to sell to users before the tax hike, and a shortage of labor for installation as well as rising costs are all becoming very serious. When Solvisto interviewed PV sales agencies regarding their measures to deal with the tax hike, it turned out that they were divided into 2 cliques, the type which wanted to sell everything they could at the 5% rate before April and the type which already announced selling at the 8% rate.

Are the measures to cope with the consumption tax hike really perfect?!
"Requests to bring deliveries set from April ahead of schedule are illegal."
Numerous instances have been seen whereby companies themselves will bear the burden of the additional 3% in consumption tax. Among sales agencies, however, regarding contracts whereby installation work cannot be completed by the end of March, evil rumors have been circulating about intentionally falsifying that deliveries have been completed. What measures are being taken in preparation for dealing with the tax hike? Also, what can be considered as a transgression? We interviewed the certified public accountant Hiroyuki Takano who is well versed in the PV industry.
