所得税減税 (income tax reduction) is different from 法人税減税 (corporate tax reduction) and 消費税減税 (consumption tax reduction). Always check which tax type is being discussed.
Gold Rule
Context matters
所得税減税 is a policy term. In casual conversation, people might simply say 減税 (tax reduction) or 減税策 (tax reduction policy).

所得税 (income tax) + 減税 (tax reduction). Both terms are native Japanese compounds: 所得 (shotoku, 'income') + 税 (zei, 'tax') and 減 (gen, 'reduction') + 税 (zei, 'tax').
Usage Notes
This term is commonly used in news reports and policy discussions. It refers specifically to reductions in income tax, not other types of taxes like consumption tax.
