This approval will change the tax category and effectively reduce the liquor tax for wine treated with oak chips from 220,000 Japanese Yen per kilo liter (approximately $1,980/kilo liter) to 80,000 Japanese Yen per kilo liter (approximately $720/kilo liter). This revision will take effect on April 1, 2018.
