Sanae Takaichi, one of the leading candidates to become the next head of Japan’s ruling party, said Friday she would roll out tax benefits and make cash payouts to households if she wins the party’s Oct. 4 leadership election.
Takaichi , a staunch conservative who narrowly lost to outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in a leadership contest about a year ago, said she would raise the threshold for untaxed income and eliminate gasoline taxes if elected head of the Liberal Democratic Party.
