The Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) unveiled a 10-point policy priority list Thursday for member firms to use to gauge how political parties pursue reforms, including a corporate tax cut and consumption tax hike.
Japan's most influential business lobby released the list as a guide to member companies being encouraged to make donations to the parties.
Nippon Keidanren announced in May it will resume moves to push its 1,300 member firms to provide political donations -- a practice that was halted in 1994 after a spate of corruption scandals led to the Liberal Democratic Party's brief fall from power.
