Vietnam wants Japan to waive taxes for Vietnamese workers in that country since the yen's sharp decline has reduced their incomes.

 

In a discussion with Gen Nakatani, Special Advisor to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, on Tuesday, Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung pointed out the yen's 30% decline has reduced the workers' incomes and if they also have to pay residence tax and income tax, they would be reluctant to work in Japan.

 

A Vietnamese worker in Japan earns US$1,200-1,400 a month on average, according to statistics from the labor ministry.
