厚生年金に関して 厚生労働省案では パートなどの加入時に 保険料の会社負担増をはかりたいとのこと
「103万円の壁」対策で 手取り減少を補う必要から考えられた案である
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare showed yesterday its idea on the employee pension system. The issue is related to the case when part-time workers or small income earners join the system. At present there is the so-called ¥1.03 million barrier. If they reach that level and exceed that level as their annual income, they have to pay the tax. Then there are many who are making some adjustments for avoiding it just by refraining for working more than that. The discussion of abolishing this barrier has been going on, and it is highly possible. But even though this barrier is got rid of from the tax system, there is another barrier in the field of the pension system. Under the present pension scheme people have to join the employee pension system if they work for a private company and earn ¥1.06 million or more a year. That means people's usable money would possibly decrease in real terms even though ¥1.03 tax barrier is abolished and people earn more money than that level, because they have to shoulder the premium for the pension. At present, the amount of the premium money for the pension system is decided so that the money should be paid equally by both the employer and the employee, half and half equally. In such circumstances, the labor ministry's idea is to increase the employer's burden a little and decrease the employee's burden. But there is no knowing what kind of solution would come out.
