医療や介護への影響を抑えることが狙いです。  新型コロナウイルスの影響で医療や介護の現場で使い捨てのビニール手袋の需要が急激に伸びて価格が高騰していることを受け、政府・与党は来年度の税制改正で輸入関税を一時、撤廃する方針を固めました。国内で供給されている使い捨てのビニール手袋は現在、大半を中国やベトナムからの輸入に頼っていて、5.8%の関税がかかっています。価格の高騰による医療や介護への影響を抑えることが狙いで、来年度の税制改正に盛り込む方針です。

The aim is to reduce the impact on medical care and nursing care. The government and the ruling party are planning to temporarily remove import tax in the next fiscal year's tax reform in response to the sharp increase in demand for disposable gloves and increasing prices in the medical and nursing care fields due to the influence of the new coronavirus. Most of the disposable gloves supplied domestically are currently imported from China and Vietnam and are subject to a 5.8% tax rate. The policy is to include it in the tax reform next year with the aim of reducing the impact of increasing prices on medical care and long-term care.
